• Prototyping

• Identify user pain points, workflow problems, unmet needs, and opportunities for improvement.
• Apply research findings, analytics, stakeholder input, and user feedback into well-reasoned design decisions.
• Create user flows, information architecture, wireframes, prototypes, high-fidelity designs, and supporting documentation.
• Iterate designs based on user feedback, research findings, business priorities, technical constraints, and design feedback.
• Apply established design-system components, patterns, standards, and guidelines.
• Collaboratively identify research questions, assumptions, and appropriate methods while working with UX Researchers.

• Facilitate scoped discovery sessions, design exercises, stakeholder workshops, and design reviews.
• Communicate design concepts, research findings, recommendations, and rationale clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Participate in discussions about design and delivery trade-offs.
• Partner with senior designers or UX Leads when decisions affect multiple products, platforms, or the broader experience strategy.
• Support design handoff by providing documentation, answering implementation questions, and reviewing completed work for alignment with the intended experience.
• Manage and prioritize multiple assignments while maintaining attention to detail.
• Handle confidential information appropriately and escalate concerns when necessary.
