• Delegate tasks appropriately while remaining hands-on with key aspects of delivery.
• Contribute to studio culture by leading knowledge-sharing sessions and fostering growth.
• May take on direct people management responsibilities (goal setting, performance reviews, etc.).

Core Skills & Expertise

• UX Design & Research
• Strong in user-centered design principles; able to gather insights and translate them into intuitive experiences.
• Skilled in applying heuristic evaluations and usability principles to assess and improve designs.
• Proficient in interaction design, prototyping, and wireframing using tools like Figma or Sketch.
• Design Systems & Accessibility
• Experienced in building and maintaining scalable design systems.
• Well-versed in accessibility standards (WCAG) and responsive design best practices.
• Knowledge of modern UI design trends, visual storytelling, and layout systems.
• Information Architecture & Usability
• Ability to organize and structure complex content and navigation systems.
• Designs for clarity, discoverability, and efficiency across platforms.

Soft Skills & Collaboration

• Excellent client communication—able to understand, interpret, and respond to client needs thoughtfully.
• •Business-minded; aware of the financial and strategic implications of design decisions.
• •Strong presentation skills; able to convey design rationale in ways that align user empathy with business value.
• •Skilled in time and project management, balancing creative exploration with deadlines.
• •Agile and adaptable; thrives in a fast-paced, evolving digital landscape.
• •Collaborative by nature; works well with cross-functional partners and contributes to shared team goals.

Preferred Tools

• Figma, Sketch, Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign)
• Familiarity with generative design tools or emerging tech is a plus.
