Fluent in Figma with auto layout, variables, component architecture, prototyping, and sitemap/flow documentation.
Working understanding of HTML and CSS to communicate buildability and design with implementation in mind.
User-centered design approach that balances aesthetics, usability, accessibility, and performance.
