  • Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to present ideas effectively—both verbally and visually
  • Ability to work autonomously, manage multiple tasks with accuracy and attention to schedules, and communicate progress
  • Understanding of user experience fundamentals, and their impact on UI and interaction design
  • Experience working within a distributed design team - collaborating with designers on different product teams to create and ideate
