• Develop high-quality designs for digital, branding, and print projects.
• Collaborate closely with developers to ensure smooth handover and address technical limitations.
• Communicate with the project manager and design team to keep projects on track.
• Participate in studio-wide conversations about projects, including those outside your direct responsibilities.
• Document design processes and deliverables for internal and client-facing use.
• Contribute to improving internal tools, workflows, and processes.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with motion design software (e.g., After Effects, Cavalry).
• A systematic approach to design, considering scalability and adaptability.
• Willingness to learn new skills, tools, and technologies.

• Strong commitment to work-life balance; no expectation of overtime.
