• Communicate design decisions and specifications in a scalable and reproducible form.
• Work closely with the other critical pieces of the supply-chain organization that we are closely connected to - in order to streamline the overall artwork process

• You have an innate passion for learning new software design technologies and trends.
• You can't stop yourself from sketching concepts,
or creating mock-ups to share and communicate your visual ideas.
• You embrace change and ambiguity as an opportunity for design to lead product development with new features and user goals.
• You're eager to solve complex workflow and product challenges with innovative ideas that are ''out of the box.''
