- Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign), and Figma.
- A portfolio showcasing design thinking and skills (school and personal projects are welcome).
- Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage tasks across multiple projects.
- A proactive, collaborative approach, with an openness to feedback and an eagerness to learn.
- Interest or experience in motion, digital design, 3D, or emerging creative tools, including AI, is a plus.
