• Explain and sell design decisions to clients and stakeholders

• 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 design, and design rationale both verbally and visually

• Work closely with development teams to ensure that design specifications are implemented

• Participate in and contribute to Project Debriefs, project templates and design POV’s.
