• Expert-level proficiency in Figma, including component libraries, design systems, and advanced prototyping
• Experience applying user research, stakeholder input, and expert judgment to inform design decisions
• Familiarity with AI design and coding tools (e.g., Claude Code), including how to structure prompts and integrate outputs into design workflows
• Working knowledge of automation tools (e.g., Make) and how they integrate with design workflows
• Proven ability to build productive working relationships and collaborate effectively across cross-functional teams
• Strong judgment and decision-making skills within defined procedures and practices
