• Good understanding of UX principles, accessibility expectations under WCAG, and design system practices.
• Ability to explain technical ideas clearly to both engineering teams and non-technical stakeholders.
• Consulting-style strengths including prioritization, collaboration, and a steady approach to ambiguity.
