- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with marketers, designers, and external production teams to ensure a unified brand voice.
- Hands-on Craft: Oversee and design key visual assets (mood boards, style frames, campaign layouts) and guide video production workflows.
- Video Editing: Hands-on video editing skills (Premiere, After Effects) are a strong plus for rough-cutting concepts and pitching ideas dynamically.

- Storyboarding Expertise: Proven portfolio demonstrating advanced capability in visual storytelling and translating scripts/ideas into actionable storyboard frames.
