• Iterate on designs based on usability testing and stakeholder feedback throughout the engagement
• Ensure designs are responsive across devices and screen sizes
• Clearly annotate UX flows and journeys in designs so developers understand interaction patterns, spacing, and component behaviour

Design System & Consistency

• Build and maintain a reusable design system and component library that keeps the UI consistent across the engagement
• Ensure all design work aligns to the client's brand standards and Teifi's design principles

Client Design Review & Sign-Off

• Run design reviews with the client, presenting design decisions clearly and incorporating feedback iteratively

• Secure formal client sign-off on designs before build begins to prevent mid-sprint design changes

Accessibility

• Ensure all designs meet accessibility standards so the solution is usable by all end users
