4. Design intuitive wireframes, interactive prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups for both web and mobile platforms.
5. Utilize user feedback and usability testing to refine designs and improve overall functionality.
6. Develop engaging digital graphics, illustrations, and other visual assets.
7. Ensure that all design elements—from color schemes and typography to layout and imagery—are consistent and elevate the overall user experience.
8. Partner with product managers, developers, and marketing teams to bring design concepts to life.
9. Communicate design rationale clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
10. Stay updated with the latest design trends, tools, and best practices, continuously bringing fresh ideas to the table.

We’re looking for someone who has:

• 3+ years of experience in product design, encompassing both UI/UX and visual design.
• Experience in ecommerce/online retail preferred.
• A portfolio that demonstrates a strong blend of user experience problem solving and visually impactful design work.
• Proficiency in design and prototyping tools such as Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, Adobe Creative Suite, or similar.

• Strong understanding of color theory, typography, composition, and visual hierarchy.
