DeVries Global is seeking an Art Director to join our growing Creative Department. Is it you?
If you're someone who's bursting with creative ideas, who lives for the latest trends but would rather start a new one, it might be. Our team is tasked with concepting ideas that earn attention for some of the world's most famous beauty and lifestyle brands, so you'll need to be a visionary with an eye for what's next. You'll also need to be a wizard in Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator, have an understanding of visual storytelling, and love making things, big or small-from crafting an epic GIF that gets all the likes to setting the look and feel of an entire campaign.
And because we're DeVries - where substance meets style - we're looking for portfolios that exude just that. If that's you, let's talk.
