- Present and communicate lo-fi mockups, interaction design, hi-fi user flows, prototypes, and other design docs to the product team, stakeholder groups, and organizational leadership
- Be able to clearly articulate design rationale and prioritize feedback to iterate rapidly as we learn more through the design exploration process
- Be able to influence and gain alignment from others while being accountable for bringing critical thinking and product design strategy into all product design work
- Ship experiences that are delightful to our users
- Deeply understand and empathize with our users’ needs and painpoints

Expertise creating, owning, and evolving the information architecture (IA) of large complex applications
