• Ability to take ownership of a project from an ambiguous or incomplete brief through to a polished solution
• Critical thinking and a strong point of view, while remaining collaborative and open to feedback
• Experience using AI as part of the creative process to explore, iterate, prototype, and elevate the quality of the final work, rather than simply accelerate production
