Art Director
Supper is seeking an Art Director who combines strong visual taste with advanced AI fluency. This role requires someone who can concept and execute modern brand systems and campaigns while using AI tools as part of their daily creative workflow. The right candidate understands that AI is a tool, not a shortcut, and knows how to generate, curate, refine, and elevate work to a professional standard.
This is not a production-only role. It requires creative judgment, aesthetic restraint, and the ability to define what “good” looks like.
