- Deliver our digital roadmap through design strategy and execution, working to shared goals within a matrixed approach with the team
- Help the business crack new problems, following standard processes in design thinking to create innovative solutions to user needs
- Design interactions that put usability first, to create frictionless, pleasurable and unique experiences
