  • Apply feedback constructively and revise designs with clarity and intention.

  • Available to meet twice weekly via webcam (Mondays & Thursdays, 8:30-9:30pm EST) with an engaged presence.

  • Strong illustration skills with attention to detail, anatomy, shape language, and design clarity.

  • Deep understanding of composition, staging, and visual hierarchy.

  • Understanding of character performance, posing, and storytelling through motion.

  • Proficiency in digital illustration tools (e.g., Photoshop, Procreate, Clip Studio Paint).

  • Ability to adhere to Brand Guidelines, Brand Strategy, and Creative Direction.

  • Strong collaborative spirit and ability to accept and apply creative feedback.

  • Experience animating your own designs or preparing layered files for 2D animation.
