• Use research tools (WGSN, Mintel, Statista, etc.) selectively to support concept justification and strategic alignment.

• Product Design Execution & Communication

• Develop form studies, concept alternatives, and experience-led design proposals informed by insight work.

• Create product-related visual materials (concept renderings, diagrams, CMF narratives, presentation graphics) that clearly communicate rationale.

• Present insights, design direction, and concept logic to cross-functional and leadership stakeholders.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner closely with Product Planning, Research, Engineering, and HQ teams to align design direction with business strategy and technical feasibility.

• Maintain structured documentation of research sources, insights, and design rationale to support continuity and reuse across programs.
