Design Awards that bring the region’s design community together every year.</span><br></p><br><p><span>This is a strategic and production role at a

creative authority – and the expectation of hands-on output that comes with
both.</span><br></p><br><p><b><span>WHAT YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR:</span></b><br></p><br><p><b><span>Magazine:</span></b><br></p><br><p><span><span>–</span></span><span>Own the

data to decide what gets covered and how.</span><br></p><br><p><span><span>–</span></span><span>Write
