Associate Art Director at Artemis Ward creating compelling visual concepts and prototypes. Partnering with strategists to translate abstract ideas into tangible designs championing creativity and innovation.
Responsibilities
Partner with strategists and creative leads to visually explore the first version of a big idea — moving from a verbal brief to a compelling visual concept with speed, confidence, and a point of view.
Create visual sequences and storyboards that map out consumer journeys, video concepts, and digital experiences, using pacing, composition, and hierarchy to tell a story that lands emotionally, not just logically.
Establish the aesthetic direction of a project early — curating references, building moodboards, and setting a visual standard that gives the broader creative team a clear, elevated foundation to build from.
Lead the visual architecture of our most important strategy presentations, ensuring our thinking always shows up at the level of our work.
Build high-fidelity prototypes and mockups of digital products, physical activations, and campaign concepts that make the future feel tangible — and make clients believe it already exists.
Brief, guide, and quality-control external design resources — freelancers, illustrators, motion designers, and production partners — translating creative vision into clear, actionable direction and holding the standard through execution.
Stay connected to the work after concepts are sold, protecting the integrity of the original idea and ensuring what gets built reflects what was conceived.
Leverage AI-assisted design tools and emerging technology to accelerate concepting and prototype ideas faster without sacrificing depth of thinking.

2–4 years of relevant experience at a creative agency, design studio, or in-house brand team
A portfolio that demonstrates strong conceptual thinking, not just polished execution
Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma
Ability to move quickly from brief to concept while maintaining a high creative standard
