• Promote a user-centered design process that is iterative and responsive to data and feedback.
• Stay current with digital trends, ecommerce design best practices, and emerging tools.

• 5+ years of experience in digital design, brand design, or art direction (preferably in fashion, jewelry, beauty, or lifestyle).
• Strong portfolio showcasing work across ecommerce, mobile, responsive web, social, and email.
• Keen eye for detail and layout, with an obsession for typography and a refined visual sensibility.
• Experience designing user interfaces for apps or digital products.
• High taste level with a sharp aesthetic—able to translate brand values into elevated visual experiences.
• Proficient in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite.
• Deep understanding of digital layout, content hierarchy, and design best practices.
• Comfortable working with multiple teams to deliver high-quality design under tight timelines.
• Excellent organizational and communication skills.
