•
Manage visual design across all digital channels — Xiaohongshu, WeChat, e-commerce listings, official announcements, event covers — ensuring a consistent look and feel across every touchpoint.
•
Collaborate upstream with marketing on product launches, brand collaborations, themed campaigns, and content calendars; deliver complete visual packages that drive conversion and brand visibility.
•
Build and maintain an asset library, template system, and design standards repository to standardize material reuse and improve team output speed and consistency.
