Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with immersive or 3D-adjacent products (real-time visualization, WebGL, virtual tours, configurators)
• Background in luxury, real estate, architecture, or high-value product verticals
• Familiarity with motion design and micro-interaction principles (e.g., Figma prototyping, After Effects, Lottie)
• Experience building and scaling design systems from scratch
• Understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA) and inclusive design practices
• Exposure to user analytics tools (Hotjar, FullStory, Mixpanel) and data-informed design iteration
• Multilingual capability is a plus for international client engagement
