  • Collaborate with the VP of Entertainment, creative partners, and production teams to interpret project needs visually.
  • Translate creative direction into artwork that inspires and guides fabrication, construction, and production.
  • Adapt style and detail level depending on project stage—from quick ideation sketches to photo-real renderings.
  • Works creatively under deadlines while managing multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Participate in brainstorming sessions, presentations, and production meetings.
  • Uphold COTALAND’s creative vision and brand identity as a visual storyteller.

What It Takes to Succeed

  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat) and other digital art tools.
  • Strong drawing and painting skills (digital and/or traditional).
  • Ability to convey storytelling and emotion visually in both character and environmental art.
  • Experience in theme park creative logo design, branding, and graphic design for entertainment or themed environments.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
  • Highly organized and able to handle multiple fast-paced projects.
