Share work early and often and seek out constructive feedback from peers, product teams, and other stakeholders.

Iterate on solutions based on direct and indirect stakeholder feedback.

Work together with designers on other product teams to keep work consistent, improve quality, contribute to our team processes and principles.

Have a background in Engineering/Front-end development.

Have worked on a robust and comprehensive design system, and know when to break out and create new extensible patterns.

Can distill complex problems into precise, simple, and delightful solutions.

Have proficiency in user and customer research: from developing a research plan, interviewing or conducting usability testing with users, analyzing feedback, and reporting research findings.

Know how to use qualitative and quantitative data to back up your design decisions and suggest new research.
