• Proven background in heavy print production design, with a demonstrated ability to manage tight timelines across a high volume of concurrent projects.
• Prior production experience within the beauty or consumer packaged goods (CPG) retail industry is highly preferred.
• Accustomed to collaborating directly with Art Directors to execute technical artwork while maintaining a strong internal sense of design, typography, and photography style.
