- Reviewing final deliverables with an exacting eye, ensuring that layout, images, and typography meet exceptional standards.
- Continually evolving the company brand, which is dynamic and constantly testing the boundaries of our creative potential.
- Deliverables include implementation of existing branding and art direction, developing original conceptual artwork, layout mockups, and production of new visual assets.
What we're looking for:
- Bachelor’s degree in a design-related discipline, such as Graphic Design, User Experience, or Visual Communication.

- 2+ years of editorial experience in print or digital, and a solid understanding of the hand-off process of digital files to a print vendor.
- Proficiency in the formal elements of design, including typography, layout, balance, proportion, rhythm, emphasis, and unity.
- The ability to create custom illustrative pieces that tell Gatik’s unique story.
- Excellent digital file structure and asset management skills.
- A user-empathy approach to design and ability to communicate clearly (both verbally and written).
- Ability to synthesize complex information into simple, powerful design solutions.
- Passionate about design and art, both in and outside of work.
- Ability to multi-task and work efficiently under pressure without losing focus on details.
