• Generate layered PSDs, vector files, and repeat swatches for vendor handoff.
• Collaborate with internal print designers to implement feedback and revisions.
• Ensure consistency of aesthetic from concept through final execution.
• Manage multiple briefs simultaneously while meeting set timelines and project milestones.
