• Familiar with education, EdTech, or marketing-driven environments with proven experience delivering assets for ads, marketing campaigns, and branded content.

• Experience in Social Media ad design tailored to various platforms.

• Strong skills in visual design, with a deep understanding of typography, color, layout, and the ability to create designs that are both clear and emotionally engaging.

• Proven ability to work at a fast pace without sacrificing quality, especially in dynamic, collaborative environments.

• A keen eye for detail and a high visual standard, with a strong sense of ownership and accountability over final deliverables.

• Experience designing for both paid and organic channels
