• are passionate about working with clients—both with established companies, but also guiding up-and-comers;
• take ownership, build an understanding of the problem space, and deliver impressive solutions;
• are natural storytellers who empathize with end users and put them at the heart of their solutions;
• are also able to confidently explain their design process to clients;
• are knowledgeable in the technology that underpins their designs;
• have T-shaped expertise across design disciplines, with a deep core strength, enriched by experience across product design, user research, strategy, interaction design, and visual design;
• love to share and coach others as much as you love to learn, and tackle challenges with a growth mindset;
• have a portfolio that showcases their skills, abilities, and process.
