Leverage AI tools effectively as an accelerator to the design process.
Collaborate with Product Managers to understand user needs, product requirements, and business objectives.
Translate complex business and technical workflows into simple, approachable, and intuitive design solutions.
Drive or support user research and usability testing to inform design decisions.
Develop and iterate designs, flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high‑fidelity visuals.
Present design concepts and rationale clearly, telling the “story” behind design decisions in terms of user goals, context, and outcomes.
Partner with Engineering to ensure designs are well understood, feasible, and implemented with high quality.
Provide flash design guidance on secondary projects.
Help define and maintain consistent design standards, patterns, and usability principles across TradeCentric products.
Manage design initiatives in cooperation with other stakeholders, ensuring progress across concurrent projects.
