·      Solid understanding of additional design tools (prototyping, animation, 3D modeling, etc.)

·      Proven ability to work well on simultaneous projects with tight deadlines

·      Expert level design sensibility and fluency with typography, color, and layout, especially how all three work in a responsive context

·      Proven ability to communicate concepts and solutions clearly and to present them using sketches, wireframes, and high-fidelity mockups

·      An expert understanding of fundamental technical considerations related to delivering development-ready digital assets

·      6+ years of professional experience

·      4-year+ degree, B.A. in Graphic Design, preferred
