- Strong foundation in typography, layout, and interaction design principles.
- Expertise in responsive design for seamless web and mobile experiences.
- Ability to simplify complex, data-heavy workflows into intuitive, scalable solutions.
- Comfortable designing around AI-driven insights, explainability, and trust.
- Experience with multi-layered and multi-tenant workflows.
- Skilled in user research, journey mapping, and usability testing.
