Associate Creative Director

Who You Are
Personality + Mindset

You are a multi-disciplinary creative leader, driven by narrative, craft, and innovation. A natural storyteller and visual thinker, you bring big ideas to life through strategic, compelling, and beautifully executed creative. Whether building a deck or pitching a campaign, you’re confident, articulate, and thrive at the intersection of strategy, design, motion, and video.
You inspire and direct others—but also love rolling up your sleeves and diving into the work yourself. You are as comfortable leading client-facing conversations as you are fine-tuning the polish on a keynote presentation, video edit, or motion graphic. Your standards are high, your ego is small, and you’re ready to get to work.
