Proficiency in design tools (such as Realtime Landscape, DynaSCAPE, AutoCAD, SketchUp, or similar)
Familiarity with Canva or similar programs for clean, branded proposal layouts
Clear written communication and ability to take direction and follow through
Excellent organization and time management — deadlines matter here
