  • Prepare production-ready files and oversee quality assurance throughout the creative process.

REQUIRED SKILLS/EXPERIENCE:

  • 8+ years of professional experience as an Art Director, Senior Graphic Designer, or similar creative role.
  • Prior experience working within an advertising agency, branding agency, design studio, or in-house creative department.

  • Ability to take creative direction, incorporate feedback, and adapt designs based on project needs.
