sketches to high fidelity mockups. You use prototyping as a tool
for concept testing and vision-setting. You have strong experience
in designing complex B2B products. You’ve designed for a
multi-sided marketplace or multiple user types in a single
ecosystem, and have experience building 0 ? 1 products. You are
able to balance the UX complexities of large sets of information
and multi-step flows with beautiful, intuitive UI design. You’ve
tackled enough complex interaction design problems before that you
are able to hit the ground running on new projects. You are
comfortable pivoting quickly if business needs change or if new
information is presented. You can balance different user needs and
business priorities, and you can pull together concepts and iterate
on designs based on feedback or changing scope. You are comfortable
context switching and working across problem areas. You can
prioritize your work strategically, balancing long- and short-term
projects simultaneously and working with multiple engineers, PMs,
and stakeholders. You understand the importance of accessibility in
your designs. It’s part of your design process to make sure that
your designs are accessible, and to make sure all designs that are
shipped are accessible. You set a good example for the rest of the
team when it comes to accessible designs. You have experience
contributing to a design system and working within the guidance of
a design system. You’ve built reusable components in Figma that
have been used by your teammates, and you have an interest in this
