- Can define scalable, end-to-end interaction flows that incorporate key design principles, intentional information architectures, common design patterns, and accessibility
- Can create simple, elegant, and thoughtful user interfaces through the implementation of visual design elements, such as branding, illustration, iconography, typography, or microinteractions
- Understand how to use different design processes (e.g., double diamond) and can produce documentation for storytelling that helps your team and stakeholders empathize with users
- Able to plan, synthesize, and share out generative and evaluative user research to inform product and design direction
- Can facilitate and communicate well, including communicating your design rationale to different groups (users, teammates, stakeholders) effectively
- Ability to demonstrate product design leadership through actions such as driving excellence in your team’s design execution
