About You
Who you are is just as important as (if not more so than!) what you can do.

• You're a creator to your core. Making things is what makes you happy.
• You're insatiably curious. About the world. About technology. About art, literature, music, gaming, sports, and a host of other things.
• You're obsessed with design.
• You're hip to all the trendy styles but you're always looking to push what's next.
• You're a trained conceptual thinker. You're full of ideas and are as comfortable jamming on a concept for a billboard or a poster as you are an integrated campaign and a big tv spot.
• You possess a genuine passion for work - yours or anyone else's - that elicits a visceral reaction.
• You're a connoisseur of culture, both pop and not, because the more you know about the world, the better equipped you are to disrupt it.
• You're always searching for answers to your questions about your craft, clients, and consumers.
• You're a visual storyteller learning to harness the power of a captivating narrative.
• You see every brief as an opportunity to push your creative thinking and learn from the ideas others come up with.
• You understand the concept behind a visual execution is as important as the design itself. Without the why, there is no what.
• You recognize the value of collaborating with other creatives and other disciplines.
• You're not afraid to ask questions or request help, but are resourceful enough to try figuring it out for yourself first.
• You always bring interesting idea to the table...even when no one asks for them.
• You keep one eye on the finite details and the other on the final composition.
• You display your thinking and design with pride, building presentations as beautiful as the ideas within them.
• Your thick skin is impenetrable and you see constructive criticism as an opportunity to think differently and continue to challenge yourself.
• You have a perspective and you voice it with confidence.
• You're anxious to get out of your comfort zone and onto productions and client meetings.
• You thrive in a fast-paced environment with tight timelines and varying levels of pressure.
• You're able to quickly adapt to changing circumstances and requirements.
• Your teammates can count on you to deliver solid concepts and well-designed work on time and in the appropriate format.
• You bring good vibes and good old-fashioned fun to work every day.
• You're driven by a need to beat your own best.

• Show up and show off with a variety of impressive ideas for every ask.

• Create comps, illustrations, mood boards, storyboards, and whatever else is needed to visually communicate campaigns, spots, experiences, and anything else we want/need to create.
• Work with partner agencies to ensure all design supports brand standards.
• Work through production to help execute all ideas flawlessly.
• Dive deep into the details of the what and the why.
• Deck ideas so well that you don't have to say a word to sell them. But definitely still talk or else it's awkward.

• Be receptive to feedback and edits, but not afraid to defend ideas and executions you believe deliver on the brief.
• Learn from every campaign. Use the results to make the next one even more incredible.
