You have a portfolio that showcases your ability to create layouts and present complex data or information simply. Your overall body of work demonstrates that you can prioritize the perspectives of your users and clients in a way that centers and elevates their voices. When it comes to project planning, you can self-manage along timelines and hold yourself accountable to the team, communicating when you find yourself needing support. You are collaborative and open to sharing design files in progress with other designers or writers to meet deadlines and fit user needs. Responsibilities Employ instinctive, user-centered design
