Are your design skills so versatile that you could execute a digital ad campaign for a medical client in the morning, skin a website for a manufacturing client in the afternoon and dream up a killer concept for a tech client in your sleep? Does being part of a collaborative team, where people like each other both personally and professionally, sound refreshing? Are you a digital-first thinker who is as comfortable designing for video and animated banner ads as for print or onsite signage? If so, this position may have your name written all over it.
