Ensure designs are flexible, accessible, and adaptive to varying workflows, devices, viewports, technologies, locales, and users.

Anticipate the impact of design decisions well in advance of their application.

Audit current implementations of the design system and identify areas for simplification and improved consistency.

Consult with engineering to ensure designs work within given limitations, and files are prepared with all necessary information to support the design intent.

Prepare and deliver pixel-perfect component and template files for final documentation. Ensure files are simple and intuitive for teams to pick up and use in their projects.

Research, develop, and implement best practices for communicating design systems and delivering design assets to teams working across multiple platforms.

Create prototypes to convey states, transitions, and/or behaviors. Present presentations to teammates and leads and clearly articulate design rationale and any applicable limitations.
