• Exceptional communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to articulate complex ideas clearly and persuasively.

• Deep understanding of design thinking and experience systems, and how to apply them within large-scale organizations.

• Expertise in planning and synthesizing user research to uncover insights and opportunities, and translating them into actionable frameworks and design direction.
