• Design and optimize key e-commerce experiences, including product discovery, search and filtering, product pages, personalization features, customer accounts, and checkout flows.
• Work closely with engineers to ensure designs are practical, technically feasible, and implemented as intended.
• Use user feedback, testing, and data to inform design decisions and improve the overall experience.
• Collaborate with founders and stakeholders to translate business needs into effective product solutions.

• Excellent visual design foundations including typography, color theory, visual hierarchy, composition, and creating engaging digital experience.
• Deep understanding of UX and product design, including information architecture, user flows, wireframing, interaction design, usability testing, accessibility, and design system development.
• Understanding of user behavior and consumer decision-making in digital products and e-commerce experiences.
• Advanced proficiency with Figma, including Auto Layout, Components & Variants, Variables, Design Tokens, and Interactive Prototyping to create scalable and production-ready designs.
• Hands-on experience designing e-commerce products, including product listing pages, search and filtering experiences, product detail pages, checkout flows, mobile commerce, customer accounts, and personalization features.
• Strong understanding of responsive and mobile-first design principles, front-end implementation constraints, accessibility standards, and effective collaboration with engineering teams.
• Excellent communication skills, including the ability to explain design decisions, justify trade-offs, and incorporate feedback constructively.
