Job description
You can hold ten internal asks in your head, prioritize by leverage, and ship a coherent portfolio of small, well-shaped products. Comfort with ambiguity and with saying no.
- Taste as a moat
You make UI judgment calls beyond what's in the spec - spacing, motion, information density - because you've internalized why those things matter.
- Systems thinking about data and tools
You think in terms of where data lives, what to centralize vs. decentralize, and how to expose it at the right level. You design with the data architecture in mind, not just the screen.
- Communication and craft
You can present your work to engineers, executives, and customers, and explain
why you made a decision in language that matches the audience.
