• Work as part of a team that collaborates on nearly everything to achieve the best possible results—knowing that, at times, you may be asked to complete whole deliverables on your own.
• Be willing to take on anything, at any time, doing whatever it takes to complete amazing end results.
• Continually push yourself, and those around you to do better work.
• Bring your always growing skills to work every day on a variety of projects across the digital, experiential and traditional arenas.

• Ability to complete multiple tasks and projects within deadlines, as well as execute projects from start to finish.
• A passion for collaborative work with developers, designers and account teams.
• Illustration and / or animation skills are a plus.
• An ability to contribute big ideas to creative brainstorms is not required—but it is a plus.
• Online portfolio of work is required. We want to see a website - not PDF files or Word documents - that shows a variety of design styles.
