- Receive and apply feedback to improve style, tone, and voice, often involving multiple drafts and revisions.
- Follow all workflow standards and file archival protocols.
- Proactively communicate project statuses and issues.
What You Bring:
- Strong design skills as demonstrated by satisfactory completion of a sample project and a portfolio with examples of graphic design that shows a keen eye for structural hierarchy, clarity of information, and attention to detail.
- Preferred – Strong illustration skills, as demonstrated by a portfolio with examples of digital illustration that show knowledge of composition, color theory, and a range of styles.

- Acute attention to detail, to handle information accurately and in an organized manner.
- Open to receiving and incorporating feedback quickly and positively.
- Mission- and Value-Aligned. You resonate with our organizational values. You are motivated to help us achieve our common goals and vision!
