Demonstrated skill delivering high-quality Figma mocks and prototypes with minimal guidance, including responsive layouts, conditional states, documentation, and accessibility requirements.
Capability for mentoring and reviewing the work of other designers.
Experience performing UX research and usability testing, as well as turning insights into concrete design decisions.
Capacity to write user-focused UI copy without a dedicated content designer.
