- Experience producing a range of UX deliverables, such as personas, user journeys, prototypes, wireframes and information architecture
- Experience evaluating user experience, for example through usability testing and heuristic reviews
- Experience working within a cross-functional team to represent user needs and deliver solutions that are both useful and usable, whilst balancing design decisions alongside technical and time constraints, as well as business requirements
- Comfortable presenting design work for review and articulating design rationale
- Confident in negotiating and engaging influentially in a multi-stakeholder environment to ensure user-centred outcomes remain a focal point of the design process
