• Stay plugged in to trends in design, advertising, culture, and emerging tech-bringing inspiration to every project

• 5-8+ years of experience in an agency, in-house, or studio environment with a focus on campaigns, OOH/DOOH, or experiential work
• A strong, diverse portfolio showcasing exceptional art direction, branding, and concept development across multiple mediums
• Experience designing for large-format digital screens, motion assets, or site-specific activations
• Ability to think across scales, crafting for both the big picture and the fine detail
• Solid understanding of production processes for both digital and physical formats (print specs, motion specs, fabrication knowledge a plus)
• Proven ability to collaborate in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment with creatives, strategists, producers, and technologists
• Strong presentation skills and the ability to articulate design thinking to internal teams and clients

• You are entrepreneurial and a self-starter
• Comfortable having a voice and POV in internal and external client meetings
• You can manage up in a collaborative and positive manner
• Ability to clearly express creative ideas to various types of stakeholders
