Ideally you have:
- An excellent sense of typography, layout, color, and general design principles
- An ability to adapt your designs across different platforms and form factors
- An ability to communicate your design decisions, and work cross-functionally with different teams and roles (including developers, project managers, marketing and other designers)
- Willingness to change and adapt designs based on engineering constraints
- Humility and focus on building a great product that people love
- A compelling portfolio showcasing your work and attention to detail, which ideally includes shipped mobile product designs
