Requirements

User-centered - You think beyond the pixels on the screen, toward value for the user
Team mindset - You embrace feedback, proactively seek it out to inform and unblock your own work, and share it with others
Curious problem-solver - You love the discovery process, and embrace turning loosely defined problems into tangible wireframes and prototypes that deepen our collective understanding of how to solve the problem at hand
Strong communicator, collaborator, and facilitator - You tell compelling stories that articulate the 'why' of your design work, and you're comfortable working with others to design the "best" solution to a problem
Proactive doer - You take steps to push projects toward completion, and find ways to make progress amongst ambiguity (absolute must have)
Measured - You form opinions on what success means for a project, and seek data to understand why your designs succeed or fail in order to iterate and improve

A portfolio that demonstrates passion for user-centered design, and simple solutions to complex, human problems
