• Education: A BS, MS, or PhD in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), UX Design, Product Design, or a related field.
• 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.
• Analytical Critique: The ability to provide high‑quality feedback on UI layouts, user flows, and information architecture.

• Fact‑check UX principles: validate that model suggestions align with established design patterns and psychological principles such as Fitts's Law and Gestalt principles.
• Annotate design logic: identify gaps in user journeys, redundant steps in a flow, or poor visual hierarchy in AI‑proposed interfaces.
• Refine product requirements: evaluate AI‑generated PRDs for clarity, feasibility, and user value.

Key technologies

• 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.
• Product management: Proficiency with Jira, Linear, or Notion for documenting product lifecycles and specs.
