  • Strong portfolio showcasing conceptually driven, visually compelling work across live experiences and campaigns

  • Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams from ideation through execution

  • Exceptional storytelling, presentation, and client communication skills

  • Deep understanding of design trends, pop culture, and audience behavior

  • Hands-on experience with creative tools such as Adobe Creative Suite, Keynote, and Google Slides

  • Experience working on-site or in production environments a plus
