- A strong foundational knowledge of design systems
- BA/BS or BFA in Information Design, Graphic Design, UX/UI Design, Architecture, or a related design or behavioral discipline
- Experience in a design team working on customer software products
- Experience with Figma
- Experience working on multiple projects of various complexity at the same time
- Familiarity with Twitch, either as a viewer or creator (or both!)
