• Participate in creative ideation and review sessions

• Maintain design consistency and brand compliance across all deliverables

• Work on existing files and create new ones, using consistent structural elements (parent pages, columns/guidelines, styles) and established brand asset libraries


Qualifications:

• Familiarity with design techniques, critiques, and processes

• Understanding of visual elements, including layout, typography, and fonts
