I work for a luxury brokerage looking for some talented Graphic Designers. If you would be interested please DM me. Based out of Long Island.

I’m currently responsible for creating online advertising, branding and everything that goes into our social media channels (design, not content). I want to ask others Art Directors here, what responsibilities you have. What your day-to-day looks like? I’m still doing everything that I used to do when I was a Lead Designer. Am I missing something?
