You're deeply customer-centric, grounding design decisions in real user needs and business impact. You're fluent in how AI is changing design practice and tooling, building AI-native workflows for your team. You have experience designing for agentic platforms and are excited to shape the future of human-AI interaction patterns. You balance speed and quality, prioritizing ruthlessly while maintaining craft standards, and communicate excellently with both leaders and front-line PMs.
