Don’t apply for this job if you love: your job, the long-term outlook of your company, or the fit between what you naturally love to do and what you actually do in your job.

On the other hand,

If you are a "creative" who …

• people say “can work with anyone”
• wants your work to make a difference in your organization
• has a keen eye for detail and a creative flair
• is self-motivated, and works independently
• manages time effectively and can turnaround requests quickly without sacrificing quality
• stays knowledgeable on current design trends
• doesn’t fall in love with your designs, and can incorporate input from stakeholders
• has a positive “can do” attitude; willing to jump in and help where needed
• resides in Michigan

Then you might be the right fit for our position.
