• Collaborative spirit and comfortable with feedback—co-creates smoothly, asks sharp questions, and iterates quickly.
  
• Experience and interest in motion design is a huge plus!

What You’ll Do

• Develop original concepts and designs for digital campaigns (paid social, display, digital video, email, landing pages)
