- You have a knack for identifying acute customer pain points and translating those into specific designs, even when those pain points are articulated as broad concepts
- You excel at distilling complex B2B processes and tasks into simple, elegant user experiences that people enjoy
- Whether it’s sketches, wireframes, prototypes, or pixel perfect designs, you are comfortable advancing design concepts from inception to shipped product
- You have an exceptional portfolio that demonstrates your skills in relevant product areas such as SaaS or B2B marketplaces
