- Direct the visual and interaction design goals for client projects, and own the visual aesthetic of experiences from pitch through production.
- Contribute to the visual needs of content production, including pre-production video treatments and art direction during production.
- Follow design systems and champion best practices to produce production-ready designs for screen and print.
- Prototype and express design/motion approach across 2D/3D animation, interaction design, and visual effects. Familiarity or proficiency with Principle, Figma, After Effects, C4D, or similar programs.
- Take a high-level concept and design a detailed user experience that meets clients’ goals and aligns with campaign strategy.
