- Iterate on design, based on feedback from team members, stakeholders and users.

- 3+ years professional experience, with 2+ in mobile design.
- Experience designing on multiple platforms (iOS, Android, Desktop, etc.).

- A strong portfolio of product design, showing an excellent sense of typography, layout, and general design principles.
- First-hand experience with at least a couple current design tools (Figma, Sketch, Framer, Principle, etc.), and an eagerness to learn new ones.

- Basic front end development skills: enough to conceptualize (and empathize with) the challenges faced by mobile engineers.
- A future-forward perspective, informed by a fascination with technology and culture.
- A broad interest in design history (product, graphic, industrial, architectural).
