• Strong UI/Digital Portfolio: Demonstrated track record of delivering clean, high-impact web pages and component systems.
• Foundational UX Skillset: Practical experience with wireframing, user flows, layout hierarchy, and usability testing.
• Design System Mastery: Ability to work efficiently within mature UI kits and contribute component enhancements.
• Developer Collaboration: Comfort working alongside CMS and front-end developers in an integrated squad environment.
