• Develop storyboards, prototypes, and high-fidelity visual design to effectively communicate interaction and design ideas
• Actively give and solicit feedback from other designers in order to continually raise the bar for quality
• Mentor junior designers or interns, growing and iterating on our design culture by  participating in design-team-wide initiatives such as recruiting, developing design principles, and improving design tools and process
• Evangelize design and product thinking methodology
• Fearlessly take on highly complex problem areas and publish what you learn

• You’re excellent at articulating design decisions, presenting to clients or stakeholders
• You’re effective at prototyping at varying levels of fidelity as a primary canvas for communicating ideas both internally and externally; you continuously collaborate with colleagues and external users to design products that customers love.
• Blockchain experience is a plus, but not required (we will train you!)

• You’ve built or worked with design systems
