You are a flexible team player who can juggle a list of demanding projects with finesse and enthusiasm. You possess an open mind, and a respect for the best traditions of both user experience design and editorial design. While your body of work is predominately natively digital, your ability to conceptualize and direct print layouts for Playboy magazine is equally important. You’re comfortable working with writers and editors to help shape the Playboy experience, as well as communicating and presenting creative/visual concepts, and the design rationale behind them.
