• A portfolio that shows campaign thinking, identity systems, social craft, motion taste, and consistency at scale.

• The Communicator: Excellent verbal and visual presentation skills; you can clearly articulate creative concepts and defend design decisions.
• The Hustler: Highly proficient in managing project timelines, balancing strategic, long-term brand projects with fast-paced, daily campaign demands.
