• Define end‑to‑end product solutions by designing clear, scalable patterns and components that support both seller‑facing experiences and internal tools.
• Facilitate workshops, ideation sessions, user interviews, and usability tests, and synthesise findings into design opportunities.
• Collaborate closely with PMs, engineers, researchers, and data analysts throughout the product development cycle, from discovery to delivery and iteration.
• Contribute to a collaborative design culture by sharing ideas, participating in design reviews, and supporting high‑quality design standards.
