• Thumbnails: Craft high-click-through-rate (CTR) thumbnails for YouTube and other video platforms.
• Brand Consistency: Maintain and evolve our brand identity (fonts, color palettes, and overall visual tone) across all channels.

3. Strategy & Collaboration

• Brainstorm fresh content ideas, visual hooks, and design concepts with the team.
• Keep up with current internet culture, design movements, and trending audio/video formats to keep our content relevant.

• Speed & Autonomy: Ability to work in a fast-paced environment, iterate quickly based on feedback, and manage multiple micro-projects simultaneously.
• Attention to Detail: An eye for typography, layout, alignment, and color theory. You notice when something is 2 pixels off.
