  • Stay on the forefront of emerging visual tools, platforms, and creative techniques.
  • Collaborate closely with a small team, adapting to varied tasks and shifting client needs.
  • Comfort presenting visual ideas internally and helping refine work for client review is important.

  • Image tools: Midjourney, ComfyUI, Flux, WAN, Nano Banana

  • Commercial experience in any of the following: art direction, design, motion design, creative direction, animation, or VFX
  • Familiarity with editing and motion basics
  • Active awareness of culture, art, film, fashion, and media
  • Proactive creative energy and a desire to experiment, iterate, and make things constantly
  • Social media savvy and ability to think in short-form visual formats
  • Curious, flexible, problem-solving mindset
