• Execute efficient UV unwrapping and layout, alongside high-to-low poly texture baking workflows, to author realistic PBR materials.
• Conduct QA on 3D assets to ensure they meet technical specifications for both offline rendering and real-time web deployment.
• Design creative assets for product launches, promotions, and initiatives
• Edit, retouch, resize, and optimize images and graphics for brand alignment and multi-platform use
• Design and produce customer-facing materials (manuals, technical guides, packaging, inserts, sell sheets) for both digital and print, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and proper production specifications
• Provide flexible design support across departments as needed
• Organize and manage design files, asset libraries, and naming conventions for team accessibility
