• Collaborate with product managers, technical leads, customers, and other stakeholders to introduce, iterate, and clarify requirements.

• Model knowledge about users and share it with your team to help everyone make better decisions.
• Explain your ideas, designs, and best practices in order to successfully convince, motivate, and inspire stakeholders.
• Be a tireless advocate for exceptional user experience.

Design software that delivers on what users need.

• Through solo and collaborative design methods, create low and high-fidelity prototypes of possible design solutions.
• Translate complex product requirements into easy and intuitive user flows.
• Take a data-driven approach to influence your visual and interaction design decisions.
• Validate that design solutions meet user needs through usability testing methods such as unmoderated testing, moderated testing, and A/B testing.
