Art Director Opportunity

An Art Director at Him & Her drives the design of our projects forward — they are in the trenches while keeping their eyes on the overall goal.

The Art Director not only strives for beautiful execution, they are able to drill into a client’s business needs and make strategic decisions. They are an individual that is comfortable initiating original design concepts as well as overseeing project design(s) all the way through to execution.

Our Art Directors provide direction and leadership to designers working on their project teams. They scope design phases of projects accurately and efficiently, working closely with our project managers. An Art Director at Him & Her puts others first. They understand how to build relationships and how to foster a team.
