• Ability to independently explore creative directions, develop concepts, and execute within an established brand strategy
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to present ideas, articulate design decisions, and work effectively across teams in a remote environment
• Adaptability and comfort with ambiguity, incorporating feedback, and balancing big-picture identity work with fast-turnaround deliverables
