* Experience preparing presentation boards and presentations in PowerPoint; ability to visually articulate brand vision and definition through a design portfolio.
* Demonstrated collaboration, communication, and organization skills; ability to write, sketch, and manage a wide variety of content in a fast-paced environment.
