• Champion and evolve the in‑house design system, ensuring coherence across assets while enabling modularity and rapid testing for performance creatives.
• Provide clear creative direction and feedback to Art Directors, copywriters, designers, and motion specialists, raising the bar for craft, storytelling, and performance thinking.
