• Contribute user stories and design recommendations to product backlogs
• Present design concepts and research findings to stakeholders
• Document design processes, decisions, and rationale

• Proven experience in one or more disciplines: user research, interaction design, information architecture, or visual design
• Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end design process from research to final implementation
• Proficiency in design tools including Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator
• Experience with rapid prototyping methods and tools

Key Skills
