Who you are
You’ve been designing for 6+ years for a consumer-focused tech company, so you understand what it takes to create elegant, consumer-oriented experiences. During this time you have been working with the development of design systems.
You are a versatile designer who is seasoned in the use of a full range of skills—product design, interaction design, and visual design or prototyping — to ensure you deliver magical experiences to the customer. You understand that user experience design starts with understanding people’s context and needs and have a proven record of working with and in constant collaboration with user research: qualitative, quantitative, AB and usability testing.
You are a strong collaborator, who can work with not only design partners, but many other stakeholders from marketing to engineering.
You’re a strong communicator who can inspire teams towards action and empathy for the user.
You have a people-focused design mentality, constantly looking to hone your design instinct through user feedback, whether that’s hands-on user research or a quantitative A/B test.
