• Collaborate with communications, program, and technical staff to gather requirements, take creative direction, and translate key messages into finished design products.
• Maintain visual and brand consistency across all deliverables, following client branding guidelines and style standards.
• Ensure all designed products meet Section 508 accessibility requirements, and remediate compliance issues as needed.
• Plan, generate, and deliver client-ready materials for stakeholders, including client leadership, while managing multiple concurrent projects and competing deadlines.
