 * End-to-End UX Design: Partner with the design team to craft user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity prototypes that balance user needs with business outcomes.
 * Research & Validation: Plan and conduct user research and usability testing to surface meaningful insights and validate design decisions with real evidence.
 * Collaboration: Work closely with product managers, engineers, and business stakeholders to present, discuss, and refine design solutions across the full product lifecycle.
