• Work with the producer and core creative team to define the vision of a game.
  
• Partner with artists to develop the artistic tone (set the ambiance; explore locations, key moments, emotional contrasts, characters, etc.).
  
• Create the visual style guide of a game (put together mood boards, references, and descriptions).
  
• Coordinate and oversee the art team throughout production.
  
• Find balance between artistic aspects and technical constraints.
  
• Provide leadership and constructive feedback to achieve quality.
  
• Collaborate with members of interdependent teams in all stages of development.
  
• Participate in recruitment to build the artistic team & foster their growth.

• Knowledge of Photoshop and 3D software (e.g. 3DS Max)
• Understanding of art fundamentals and artistic culture
• A highly creative, collaborative, and empathetic spirit
• Excellent problem-solving, organizational, communication, interpersonal, presentation, and mentorship skills
