Design end-to-end user experiences for assigned products—from discovery and research through to implementation and refinement
Produce wireframes, prototypes, high-fidelity designs, and UI specifications that developers can implement with minimal clarification
Conduct lean user research (interviews, usability testing, contextual inquiry) to validate design decisions efficiently
Work directly with vendors to ensure design implementation fidelity
Deploy to products based on organizational priorities—sometimes focusing on one major system, other times supporting 2-3 related initiatives
Cross-System Design Harmonization
Identify shared patterns across systems within the same pillar (e.g., case management workflows, disbursement processes, registry interfaces)
Design with awareness of related systems
Build lightweight, pragmatic component libraries and design patterns that can be reused across similar applications
Recommend design decisions that balance individual product needs with broader service coherence
Share insights and patterns across product teams working on related systems
Embedded Team Collaboration
Integrate into product teams alongside product leads and development teams
Participate in agile ceremonies across assigned products while maintaining connection to related systems
Translate business requirements and user needs into actionable design solutions
Present design rationale to stakeholders—explaining both product-specific decisions and cross-system thinking
Coordinate with product leads when design decisions affect multiple systems in the same pillar
Practical Design Improvement
Champion accessibility and inclusive design pragmatically across all systems you touch
Identify quick wins and incremental improvements based on user feedback and analytics
