Candidate Profile

  • Data-Informed Strategist: Driven by curiosity and evidence-based creative decisions, backed by persistence and patience.

  • Visual Storyteller: Ability to simplify complex ideas into engaging visual narratives that drive action.

  • Adaptable Communicator: Flexible in the face of evolving priorities, open to diverse perspectives, and committed to a collaborative team culture.

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience with Adobe Creative Cloud (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator)

  • 1–2 years of experience with UI prototyping tools (Figma preferred)

Preferred Qualifications
