• A portfolio or personal website showcasing UI/UX work you personally took from concept to production, with examples of contemporary interface design.

• Experience owning product design decisions, user flows, and interface behavior, including the ability to explain the business logic behind a workflow.

• Strong frontend skills and experience building production interfaces with React and TypeScript.

• Good visual judgment, systems thinking, initiative, and a willingness to share work early and balance craft with speed.
