• A willingness to challenge the status quo, advocate for users, and design with attention to detail—including micro-interactions.
• Openness to feedback and a desire to learn from peers and stakeholders.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment, manage multiple projects, and prioritize tasks.
• Excellent presentation and communication skills.
• A collaborative mindset and strong team orientation.

• Experience working across multiple design phases (interaction, visual design, prototyping).
• 3+ years of experience in UX design for web applications.
• Bachelor's degree in Interaction/UX Design, or a Bachelor's in Engineering with a Master's in Design.
