- Align with multiple stakeholders, incorporating feedback early and often and maintaining a user-centered focus.
- Collaborate with the UX team to review designs and copy proposals, contributing to a consistent and coherent platform.
- Facilitate and participate in concept workshops, design sprints, and other creative sessions.
