- Working knowledge of digital specs, file setup, and print production processes
- Familiarity with common printing methods (offset, digital, specialty finishes, etc.) and how design translates to physical products
- Comfort working fast, iterating often, and juggling multiple types of design tasks
- AI-savvy: experience using AI tools thoughtfully to enhance creativity and productivity
- Strong sense of style with awareness of emerging trends
- Passion for nails, beauty, and evolving brand aesthetics
- Self-motivated and adaptable
- Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite

- Working knowledge of print production, printing methods, and print file setup
- Strong understanding of color theory, composition, and visual hierarchy
- Excellent visual taste with a strong fashion sense and awareness of fast-moving trends
- Experience working in project management platforms such as Asana
- Ability to manage multiple projects, prioritize efficiently, and meet tight deadlines
- Strong communication skills and comfort collaborating across creative, marketing, and R&D teams

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
