refined eye for visual design, a deep understanding of typography, and a proven history of
building design systems that hold up at global scale. Just as importantly, they're comfortable
working hands-on with design, creative code, AI, and modern design tools as part of how they
think and create.
They will work closely with Art Directors, the Creative Director, Creative Producers, cross-
functional partners and external agencies to build and scale these systems, explore new ideas,
and push the possibilities of design.
