• Manage your own queue in Asana and keep open tasks within per-account limits

• Complete one design revision round per email and explain your reasoning when a client pushes back

• Design pop-ups and forms when assigned

• Create simple GIFs or animated assets

• Check your own work before it leaves your hands for copy accuracy, spelling, links, alt text, contrast, and rendering across devices

• Review campaign and flow performance like open rates, click rates, heatmaps, and test results

• Bring design recommendations that go beyond standard templates

• Partner with producers, coordinators, copywriters, and developers to solve problems fast
