Visual Content Strategy: Lead the art direction for high-end food photography and viral-ready video content (Reels/TikTok) that captures the "Wonda" experience.
Packaging & Product Design: Design the "unboxing" experience for our bakery. We want our bread and cake boxes to be as iconic as the treats inside.

Leadership Presence: Proven ability to lead a team (or external agencies) and manage creative budgets without losing the "scrappy" entrepreneurial spirit.
Educational Background: A degree in Graphic Design, Brand Marketing, or a related field is preferred, but a stellar portfolio of proven brand growth speaks louder.
