You’ll draft briefs, generate outputs with frontier AI tools, and critique results against professional standards while comparing model versions and identifying failures with concrete evidence.

• Fluency in English (native or bilingual level).
• Background in UI/UX design, web design, product design, or graphic design.
• Strong understanding of visual hierarchy, layout, typography, interaction design, and user flow.
• Ability to explain why a design fails, not only that it fails.

• Generate outputs with frontier AI design tools and critique them against professional expectations.
• Compare two model versions on identical prompts and assets to determine which performed better.
• Review and critique model-generated interfaces, mockups, layouts, slides, infographics, illustrations, and motion.
• Identify specific failures with evidence, including alignment and spacing, content overflow and cutoff, typography, visual hierarchy, SVG and illustration quality, ignored assets, and off-brief interpretation.
