• Produce design identity guidelines, production-ready artwork, and other materials in support of clients, under the direction of the project team.
• Collaborate with multiple internal design practices, including workplace, retail, education, sports, and health & wellness.
• Coordinate closely with clients, designers, architects, general contractors and fabricators.
