• Present multiple design options to a problem showcasing different creative approaches and visual solutions to elevate the brand
• Effectively communicate rationale behind design decisions and iterate on designs, based on feedback, to ensure alignment and achieve optimal results within the scope of your independent expertise.

• Have excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to articulate design decisions 
• Have strong organizational skills and manage multiple project deadlines
