What we’re looking for:
- 10+ years of industry experience in UX Design, centered around intuitive and elegant visual design solutions.

- Master handling of tools and applications such as Figma/FigJam, Photoshop and Illustrator (to name a few).
- Ability to prototype is not a must but it would be ideal.
