This role supports the Lead Visual Designer role within this dedicated team by creating, adapting, versioning, preparing, and delivering confidential design materials across print, video, digital, presentation, environmental, and fabrication applications.

Associate Visual Designers work closely with Lead Visual Designers to execute fast-moving client requests with accuracy, organization, attention to detail, and discretion. This role requires a developing but solid foundation in graphic design, typography, layout, generative AI, print production, file preparation.
