• Ability to design for different formats, audiences, and platforms without losing the core message.
• Ability to work independently, take feedback, and execute quickly under tight deadlines.
• Strong attention to detail, typography, composition, hierarchy, and overall visual quality.
• A genuine interest in politics, digital media, design, and how narratives are shaped online.
