(SENIOR) ART DIRECTOR - FOCUS ON VISUAL DESIGN & CREATIVE AI (ALL GENDERS) RETAIL & CPG VERTICAL

WongDoody creates human experiences at 22 studios across 4 continents. We believe the future can be molded. And by shaping human experiences through creativity and tech, we work to build a future we believe in. 

For us, this starts with our own culture. We strive to create an inclusive environment where every human can bring their whole self to work. Our clients are brands we believe in, from global big players to local heroes to startups we love. With each of our partners, we embark on a journey of co-creation, pushing the boundaries of what's possible and exploring the space where creativity and tech meet.

Human experiences are the touchpoints where brands connect with customers. And we transform businesses by creating engaging, inspiring moments using strategy, creativity, data and technology—all backed by the global technological power of Infosys.
