• Partner closely with motion designers and creative leads to refine flows and states
• Incorporate feedback quickly while maintaining consistency and design rationale

Quality & Consistency

• Perform accuracy checks against source material before handoff
• Document decisions and edge cases within files for team clarity

Workflow & File Management

• Organize projects in Figma and Notion; communicate progress and blockers via Slack
• Maintain tidy file structures, components, and page organization for team use
