• Create and update case studies, product spec layouts, and client collateral in partnership with content and strategy teammates
• Build and maintain presentations and decks (new builds and updates), ensuring story flow, visual consistency, and easy team editing
• Design social graphics, apparel mockups, and light production assets as needed
• Support Webflow collaboration and implementation (hands-on experience is a plus), ensuring design intent is preserved through build

What Success Looks Like
