  • Apply principles of perspective, lighting, color, and composition to support storytelling and atmosphere.

  • Handle feedback professionally and revise designs as needed.

  • Available to meet twice weekly via webcam with an engaged presence.

  • Ability to adhere to Brand Guidelines, Brand Strategy, and Creative Direction.

  • Proficiency in digital illustration tools (e.g., Photoshop, Procreate, Clip Studio Paint).
