• Professional Experience: At least one year of experience designing digital products, conducting user research, or building design systems.
• Design Intuition: A deep understanding of usability heuristics, accessibility standards (WCAG), and user‑centered design principles.

• Design tools: Advanced knowledge of Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, or Sketch.
• Prototyping: Experience with high‑fidelity prototyping tools such as Protopie or Framer and handoff processes.
• User research: Familiarity with tools like Maze, UserTesting, or Hotjar to validate design hypotheses.
