• Apply UX best practices and design theory to optimize user experience, conversion rate, and long-term scalability.
• Collaborate with clients and internal teams to plan and execute website designs or redesigns, acting as a consultant to ensure UX best practices, scalability, and alignment with business goals.
• Conduct ongoing UX, CRO, and design system audits to ensure site usability, performance, consistency, and scalability.

• Partner with cross-functional teams, including account management, SEO, and development, to align on project goals and technical requirements.
• Contribute to ongoing digital marketing campaigns by supporting technical SEO optimizations, implementing ongoing CRO initiatives, and modernizing outdated website designs to meet modern standards.
• Stay informed on UX, web design, digital marketing, and AI advancements, proactively integrating emerging technologies and techniques to enhance design workflows and project outcomes.
• Complete a minimum of 5 hours of professional development monthly, focusing on UX and design innovation.
