  • Thrive in fast-paced environments and know how to keep calm when the waters get choppy
  • Find a meaningful balance between optimizing for speed, quality, and doing challenging, interesting, pixel-perfect work
  • Love working with other designers to help them learn and grow—and have them help you learn and grow
  • Preferred Requirements

  • Experience in retail marketing.
  • Familiarity with Monday.com
  • Experience using generative AI tools (e.g., Midjourney, Firefly, Heygen, ElevenLabs) to enhance design ideation and workflow efficiency.
