  • Production of detailed shot lists and coordination of the shot lists with our NC Photo studio.
  • Support Ben and Heather in developing creative direction, references, shot lists, and visual narratives for each shoot.

  • Maintain a strong grasp of the JA design language and ensure visual consistency across all channels.
  • Help manage organizational aspects of creative production, such as prop inventory, sample tracking, and shoot logistics.
  • Assist with special creative projects including window concepts, showroom resets, and experiential brand moments.
  • Support budget tracking for shoots and trade show production: estimates, approvals, invoicing, and cost-saving recommendations.
  • Identify workflow improvements and implement creative production efficiencies across shoots and exhibitions.
  • Help maintain a positive, solutions-oriented environment that upholds exceptionally high creative standards.
