- Design Systems Mastery: Expert knowledge of Design Systems principles and governance, with proven experience managing a robust, scalable system.
- Data-Driven Mindset: Fluency in data-driven design, including A/B testing and Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO), with the ability to apply analytics (e.g., Mixpanel, GA4) to design decisions.
- Advanced Research Synthesis: Advanced skills in research synthesis, utilizing user interviews and usability tests to identify skepticism, doubt, and friction in the purchase journey.
- Interaction Design: Proficiency in mapping complex user flows and optimizing multi-step interactions for efficiency and clarity.
- Technical Fluency: A mobile-first mindset with the ability to rapidly test ideas and iterate based on market feedback.
- Autonomy & Influence: A track record of acting with almost full autonomy over a domain, leading cross-functional teams through vision setting and high craft standards.
