• Visual design expert. You have a deep understanding of visual design principles, including composition, color theory, typography, and Gestalt principles.
• Systems thinker who knows when not to design something new. You think beyond the pixels and consider the entire experience holistically.

• 6+ years of software design experience

• High attention to detail and mastery of visual & interaction design craft
