You Have: 6+ years of experience in design, ideally with a focus on marketing/growth-oriented creative. A diverse portfolio showcasing digital campaigns, lifecycle creative, and brand system work. Demonstrated ability to work across both ends of the design spectrum, from campaign concepting and storytelling to systems building, template architecture, and production execution.

Solid experience working within established brand guidelines and scalable design systems with an appreciation for the distinction between creative expression and commercial constraints.
