Create multiple solution paths for complex workflows, moving past obvious or incremental improvements.
Build and maintain design systems that support consistency and help the team move quickly.
Initiate user research and convert insights into design decisions that improve the experience in measurable ways.

A track record of rapid prototyping to communicate and validate ideas, along with comfort working in fast, iterative Agile teams.
Experience building or contributing to design systems, including familiarity with design tokens and component libraries.
Enthusiasm for using AI tools across the design process, including research, ideation, rapid prototyping, and design-to-code workflows.
Working knowledge of user-centered design principles, usability, and accessibility standards such as WCAG.
