• Initiative, seeing what needs to be done, and making a plan to do it. 
• An active and empathic listen-first mindset. 
• Proven experience in driving conversations with large, national-level clients and their stakeholders. You will be the guide on visual design for your clients; they need to trust that you're in the driver's seat.
