• Lead the visual development of select small-scale projects and workstreams
• Maintain and elevate standards of craft, consistency, and attention to detail across all phases of project development
• Serve as a mentor and resource for more junior designers, providing thoughtful feedback, guidance, and support
• Actively participate in critiques, creative discussions, and collaborative working sessions that strengthen the broader Design Studio
• Explore and advocate for new approaches, emerging technologies, and evolving design practices—including AI-supported workflows—to help advance the work and studio
• Develop a strong understanding of client brands, business objectives, and experiential goals to ensure design solutions are both creatively compelling and strategically effective
• Participate in onsite installations and live experiences as opportunities arise, helping ensure the integrity of the design vision
• Contribute to a culture of curiosity, collaboration, experimentation, and craft

• You actively explore emerging creative technologies and understand how tools like AI can expand creative possibilities and improve workflows
• You possess excellent visual communication skills and are comfortable presenting work and creative rationale to both internal teams and clients
• You can independently manage complex projects and competing priorities while maintaining a high standard of quality and attention to detail
• You have proven experience in quality controlling the print production process & onsite graphic installation
• You have a strong point of view and creative conviction, balanced with humility, collaboration, and openness to feedback
