• Craft prototypes, with the capability to produce a high volume of concepts quickly, and iterate based on feedback.
• Work with developers and other designers to implement simple or complex solutions that are scalable and in line with our design system or shared patterns across products.
• Actively drive the process of identifying and validating problems worth solving, including building test plans, scripting interviews, writing surveys, etc.
• Validate designs with users through usability testing methods such as unmoderated testing, moderated testing, and A/B testing, as well as comfort learning and using the tools needed to facilitate testing.
• Facilitate workshops to effectively identify/understand user needs with both internal and external stakeholders.
