Core Competencies

• Design Thinking: You take a structured, human-centered approach to problem-solving that ensures products and experiences are intuitive, accessible, and valuable for users. You are skilled at deep user research, iterative prototyping, and cross-functional collaboration to create solutions that align with both user needs and business goals.
• User Empathy & Research: You center users' emotions, motivations, and pain points in your design process and you leverage qualitative research to uncover these insights. You can anticipate and map users' emotional states at different touchpoints. Your designs reduce stress and uncertainty and inspire trust and confidence.
• Innovation Mindset: You identify unmet user needs, envision new opportunities, and build and evolve product experiences. You are comfortable with both in-product testing and iterative learning around existing features, as well as using user insight to identify new feature ideas. You're energized by rapid experimentation, and you pivot when the data tells a new story.
• Holistic Design: You design for the entire user journey, considering how users interact with a product over time, across multiple touchpoints, and in different contexts. You ensure that an experience is cohesive, evolving, and continuously engaging. You think broadly about ecosystems, ensuring that early design decisions scale effectively. You consider how new solutions integrate with existing workflows and experiences.
• Collaboration & Influence: You successfully influence without direct authority by building trust and credibility. You help build a culture of collaboration by proactively initiating larger, inclusive, cross-team conversations about key aspects of your work. You build across surfaces that other teams are invested in by considering their needs and goals along with existing UX flows.
