• Designing visuals, interactions, and individual assets for a new feature, such as latency visualizations across the entire network.


• Interacting with customers to get feedback and better understand their needs to generate ideas for improved UI/UX based on such feedback, such as creating better data views for port capacity utilization.


• Working closely with the product and software engineering teams to clearly communicate design ideas and get them implemented in the product.


• Inspiring others in the company, from the executive team to customer support to think design first.


• Researching additional ideas that you may have to improve the product/platform overall and sharing them with the team.
