• Have designed complex products that achieved both usability and adoption goals
• Demonstrate deep understanding of information and interaction architecture for multi-platform systems
• Show expertise in interaction design, including keyboard-first interfaces
• Bring strong visual design skills with proven ability to create cohesive, scalable design systems
• Excel at prototyping, from paper sketches to high-fidelity interactive demos (bonus: the closer to real code the better)
• Understand interface development concepts and limitations for mobile and web to design feasible solutions
• Navigate ambiguity comfortably, creating structure from undefined problem spaces
• Communicate design rationale effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Balance user needs with technical constraints without compromising on quality
• Show evidence of shipping products that pushed the boundaries of what's possible
• Demonstrate systems thinking and ability to see connections others miss

Desirable
