The ideal candidate is highly creative, detail-oriented, and an excellent communicator. You will be responsible for coordinating all design matters related to client projects, ensuring seamless collaboration between members of multidisciplinary teams, and delivering projects on time. You will oversee the design and development of client projects from inception to completion.
