The Opportunity:

You know that a good tool, system, or site is more than just the code, infrastructure, and a nice-looking interface – it’s the way it addresses a user’s needs.

You’ll apply basic principles, theories, and concepts to assist in building a design system and work on a team aiming to improve the user experience across web platforms while solving complex challenges. You’ll advocate for the prioritizations of design-centered changes, refinements, and improvements, all the while keeping the end-user at the center of your work.
