  • Provide and develop a culture of feedback where designers are encouraged to iteratively improve on their work.
  • Cultivate a growth mindset by contributing to design best practices for organizational needs such as career ladders, design critique, lean research, advanced design methods, integrating our brand into the product, and more.
  • Drive communication with cross-functional peers, directors, and teammates, ensuring clarity and alignment up, down, and across.
