    • You have a portfolio demonstrating systems thinking and scalable design solutions.
    • You're expert-level proficient with design tools such as Figma and Adobe Creative Suite.
    • You demonstrate strong strategic thinking with ability to balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints.
    • You have excellent presentation and communication skills with the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels.
