• Actively incorporate AI tools into the design workflow for concepting, rapid iteration, asset generation, and design QA to increase speed and output quality

• Strong visual design sensibility, typography, color theory, layout, hierarchy, and brand application across web environments
• Adobe Creative Suite proficiency, specifically Photoshop and Illustrator for image editing, vector work, and asset preparation
