- Contribute to design system governance, maintenance, and ongoing improvements.
- Present work, participate in critiques, and communicate design rationale to partners and stakeholders.
- Incorporate feedback thoughtfully and follow through on design updates with a high level of attention to detail.

- A portfolio demonstrating strong web design, visual design, and systems thinking.
- Experience designing responsive marketing websites and landing pages.
- Understanding of design system principles, including tokens, components, variants, states, patterns, and templates.
- Systems thinker: Sees patterns across components, modules, tokens, and page experiences; knows when to create, consolidate, or extend a solution.
- Experience collaborating with engineers and working within technical constraints.
- Strong visual design skills, including layout, typography, color, composition, and hierarchy.
- Experience creating or maintaining icon libraries, or a strong interest in developing iconography skills.
- Familiarity with accessibility and inclusive design principles.
