We pride ourselves on being flexible, but there are some things we feel very strongly about:

Being an excellent communicator. You take care in articulating your own thoughts and processes, as well as critiquing the work of others

Understanding the whole business. Great systems and processes aren’t built in a vacuum – they require hard work from smart people across multiple disciplines along with an understanding of how everything fits together

Great teams are better than the all-star players. No matter how great one person’s ideas may be, they’ll be better through collaboration and cooperation.
