• Intermediate to advanced proficiency in Figma, including components, variables, libraries, responsive layouts, and interactive prototyping, along with proficiency in FigJam and presentation tools
• Experience applying established design systems, interaction patterns, brand standards, accessibility requirements, content principles, and experience architecture to product design work
• Experience using qualitative research, usability findings, customer feedback, analytics, and product data to identify experience problems, support design decisions, and prioritize improvements
