End-to-end design for complex, ambiguous problems on a product surface. From problem framing through customer research to final shipped UI. You drive your own discovery; you do not wait for briefs
Customer research. Run interviews independently, synthesise findings, convert to design direction. You speak to internal customers - not always through PM
Design system contributions. Extend primitives, propose new patterns, document conventions. Your contributions outlive your tenure on any single feature
Mentoring designers. Code review the design equivalent: review work, give critique, unblock craft questions. Engineers and PMs see you as a craft mentor across the team
Driving design critique sessions. Structure feedback rounds, raise the bar across the team
Written design rationale. You produce design decision documents, principles, and decision logs as a default - not when forced
Cross-functional partnership. Surface design constraints early to PM and engineering. Bring reasoned alternatives. Operate as a peer, not a delegate
Pixel-level craft and accessibility on your own work and surface
