- 5+ years of experience in a creative or brand-led role, ideally within a marketing or design agency environment.
- Strong background in brand strategy, creative direction, and marketing insight.
- Proven experience leading the evolution of brand identity and visual storytelling.
- Hands‑on proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign).
- Excellent communication, presentation, and leadership skills.
