You are a designer with a sharp eye and a high bar for craft who understands how to create work that feels both on-brand and culturally relevant. You use AI not as a shortcut, but as a tool to explore new creative territory, unlock new formats, and bring ideas to life more dynamically.

Use AI to rapidly concept, iterate, and prototype ideas ( increasing both speed and creative range)
Collaborate with design peers to pressure-test emerging AI tools, identifying and documenting best practices to help the broader team adopt more efficient, tech-forward workflows
Identify opportunities where AI can enhance storytelling, not just production
Concept & Create
Translate business goals into distinctive, insight-driven creative concepts
Contribute original ideas that feel fresh, relevant, and ownable to the brand
Iterate quickly while maintaining a high bar for quality
Design for scale by building repeatable, modular systems rather than one-off assets

Ensure consistency and excellence across formats while adapting to channel needs
Collaborate & Influence
Partner with Creative Directors, Copy, and Marketing to deliver cohesive, impactful campaigns
Contribute to creative discussions with a clear point of view and strong rationale

Portfolio demonstrates strong visual judgment, originality, and attention to detail
Clear point of view on design, with the ability to elevate everyday creative
AI-Forward Creative Thinker
Comfortable using AI tools to support concepting, image-making, and iteration
Sees AI as a creative amplifier (not just a production tool)
Strong Design Fundamentals
Deep understanding of typography, layout, color, and composition
Able to execute quickly without sacrificing quality
Curious & Experimental
Actively explores new tools, trends, and visual directions
Brings new ideas and inspiration into the team
Collaborative & Impact-Oriented
