- Accelerate team efficiency by improving processes and workflows both within product design and within wider cross-functional product teams.
- Sweat the small stuff – understand that the little details are what make people love a product.

- Contribute to and positively shape the organization’s culture through collaboration, feedback, and process iteration.
