• Work with team members to develop and refine streamlined design processes, setting new standards for quality and delivery
• Proactively pursue opportunities to improve strategy and approach in order to better address client and user objectives

• Lead and support designers across multiple projects, taking responsibility for the quality and consistency of all team documentation and deliverables
• Contribute to thought leadership activities within the product design discipline
