· Lead projects from idea to execution. Own packaging design from concept and mockup through production-ready artwork, ensuring all assets are accurate, on time, and on brand.
· Collaborate cross-functionally. Partner closely with product development, marketing, and brand teams to translate objectives and consumer insights into compelling visual stories.
· Balance creativity with craft. Bring forward fresh ideas while honoring brand standards and real-world production requirements.
