Build interactive prototypes and proof-of-concepts to validate interactions, flows, and overall design intent
Deliver implementation-ready design outputs, including annotated specifications, component behavior definitions, and assets that enable accurate and efficient development
Contribute directly to design systems and shared UI patterns, ensuring consistency, scalability, and long-term quality across products and brands
Proactively represent UX/UI in cross-functional collaboration, identifying opportunities for improvement and innovation rather than waiting for direction, and continuously raising the quality bar
