• User-Centered Mindset: Solid understanding of user-centered design principles, web and mobile usability standards, and best practices in responsive design and accessibility.
• Research & Analysis: Ability to conduct basic user research, analyze user behavior data, and apply findings to improve design decisions. Experience with usability testing or analytics tools is a plus.
• Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills to effectively present design ideas and collaborate with cross-functional teams.
