• A proven ability to bring bold, imaginative concepts to life in a retail setting.
• Strong understanding of how display and layout influence customer behavior and the overall shopping experience.
• A proactive, self‑starting attitude with excellent time management skills.
• A natural sense of style, attention to detail, and eye for color, balance, and spatial layout.
• Flexibility to adapt displays to new products, trends, and seasonal needs.
• Ability to collaborate with a team while also working independently on projects.
• Familiarity with design tools such as Adobe Creative Suite is helpful but not required.
