  • Ability to manage time, priorities, workflow, and schedule, to meet deadlines; able to work quickly and efficiently.
  • Solid presentation, listening, and communication skills, including when engaging with colleagues.
  • Receptive to design critiques, while also able to present rationale for design choices confidently and respectfully.
  • Resourceful – able to problem-solve and find multiple design solutions, especially under narrow parameters or strict project timelines and budgets.
  • Ability to function well under pressure.
  • Photography and videography skills a plus.
  • Digital product design experience a plus.


Requirements
