• Work with the product team to build new features – mock-ups, screens, components, iconography, user flows, across mobile (native and web) and desktop.
• Coordinate with other designers working on related products.
• Gather input from users through user interviews, observing users using the system or conducting hosting focus groups and design surveys.
• Advise on usability improvements from our analytics and user feedback
