• Collaboration: Work in an Agile environment with business analysts, developers, and stakeholders to ensure the integrity of the design throughout the development lifecycle.

• Multi-Platform Knowledge: Deep understanding of Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines, Google’s Material Design, and responsive web principles.
