Translate user needs, business goals, and technical constraints into simple, elegant solutions
Design flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity UI with strong attention to detail
Collaborate closely with Product Managers and Engineers to define and ship high-quality features
Contribute to product strategy through user insights, data, and experimentation
Improve and scale the design system to ensure consistency and efficiency
