• Contribute wireframes, user flows, interaction prototypes, user personas, customer journeys, site maps, and other design specification materials.
• Work directly with customers, peers, and creative leads to design end-to-end experiences using participatory and iterative design techniques, including observational studies, customer interviews, usability testing, and other forms of qualitative and quantitative research to uncover insights, learn about user behavior, and verify design concepts.
• Effectively communicate research findings, conceptual ideas, detailed designs, and design rationale both verbally and visually.
