Competencies:
Wondering if you’re a good fit? If so, at your core, this is who you are:
Passionate about the entire user experience: You think in more than just wireframes, you think in experiences aiming to deliver value with ease-of-use and spontaneous customer delight. You care about what it’s like to use the product—in its entirety.
Effective, efficient wireframer: Skilled in organizing information effectively, creating user flows, and developing wireframes that form the structural foundation for intuitive user interfaces.
Insatiable desire for user understanding: Learning is one of your core motivators. You dive deep with empathy and understanding for the user you’re designing for. You are eager to learn how and what the user thinks, feels, explores, dislikes, expects and know just how to meet their needs with effective designs.
Adaptable and velocity minded: You excel in environments where all the answers aren’t ready and know where and how to get them.
Effective planner: Thinking ahead is your strong suit. You plan ahead with your designs, building templates that are flexible enough to incorporate unexpected changes.
Organized: Deep inside you’re a closet project manager; an organizer who gets a certain buzz from crossing things off that to-do list.
Attentive to detail: Does not let important details slip through the cracks or derail a project.
Collaborative: You want to work independently but you want to be part of a high-functioning team able to bounce ideas off your team members to help them and for them to help you.
