- Produce both low- and high-fidelity prototypes, UX flows, interaction specifications, and developer-ready design artifacts that convey behavior, states, and edge cases.
- Steer cross-functional design reviews from concept through delivery, aligning with product and engineering stakeholders.
- Collaborate with engineers during implementation to clarify requirements, refine interactions, and preserve design quality under real-world constraints.
- Leverage and contribute to the Alpha Design System and shared UX standards to enhance consistency and reuse across products.

- Proficiency with Figma for design, prototyping, and building and applying design systems.
