• Your work examples must prove you’ve solved business problems. (While we expect you to make beautiful things – one of those things must be money for our clients.)
• You are proficient in Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator for sure. Flash, HTML/CSS, JAVA a plus but not necessary. 
• You possess all the skills above and have spent years bringing the same out in junior talent you’ve mentored.

You:

• You hustle.
• Your gif game is strong.
• You love cars and are as eager to discuss the future of autonomous driving, as you are to express your disdain for the Pontiac Aztek (or vice versa).

• You design according to our brand identity and business objectives.
