About You

You think of the user first. You believe in a fundamentally user-centered and reality-based approach to UX design. You understand what makes an experience good or bad. On that foundation is where you build the beauty and flair that you add to all of your designs.

You love solving problems. Designing for you isn’t just about the end product, but it’s about the journey. Thinking through business strategy and melding it with user research is as fundamental to the process for you as creating wireframes and mockups.

You are collaborative. You’re a team player who puts the interest of the team above your own. You display a positive attitude, are open, and enjoy contributing.

You’re a natural leader. No matter where you find yourself, others tend to gather around you, leading to encouragement and mentoring.

Sales Engineering is your passion. It doesn’t just provide a paycheck; you are genuinely interested in what you do and the impact that it has on others.
