Designer + Production Artist

We’re adding a Designer + Production Artist to our creative team! If you love design and layout and also obsess about the details of execution and delivery, we should chat. Here is a little more detail on exactly who we are looking for: 

You’re a renaissance artist. A Swiss army knife. You love design and layout and also are comfortable building, executing, and outputting. You understand the role of design in storytelling and are slightly obsessive about your favorite typefaces, blends, and textures. You can take a single piece of creative, a look, an idea and build it out into a dozen new pieces, sizes, shapes and formats. You collaborate well with other creatives and take direction and input from other designers and creative leads. You understand the basic tenets of digital, UI/UX, choosing the right platform, and can develop and drive a digital prototype through into handoff of finished dev assets. You’re incredibly skilled and fearless in Adobe CS and constantly learning newer, better, smarter ways to work. You lean heavily into digital and stay on top of what’s in, what’s out, what’s possible. You make mistakes and just own it. You appreciate process, but aren’t obsessed with it. If there’s a fire that needs putting out, you don’t add more fuel. You’re not into game playing (unless it’s pool, foosball, shuffleboard, darts, or an occasional evening of poker). You’re very good at what you do, but above all you’re a great human.
