• You will use mixed usability testing methods to gather qualitative and quantitative data, translate that data into feature enhancements or new products
• You’ll use research to challenge and validate design decisions in an ongoing development process that strives to make the customer and user experience better
• You’ll promote leading techniques for user research, ideation, prototyping, design, and user testing
• Have a holistic view, understanding, and strong consideration of design and user experience, including layout, typography, colour theory, visual hierarchy, and working knowledge of Miro or Figma

• You have strong experience creating beautiful high-fidelity mockups as well as prototypes
