• You are able to make design decisions when interpreting concepts should things need to change for our outfit metrics.
• You utilize artistic techniques and processes to define and achieve the product's visual style and benchmarks
• You are a team player. You are willing to suggest and execute ways to improve quality whilst maintaining the aesthetic of Palia.
