  • Ensure design solutions utilize and further the team's design system, leveraging or iterating on existing patterns.
  • Identify undefined or inconsistent patterns and propose scalable solutions.
  • Encourage and facilitate the shared naming of elements across design and development.
  • Leverage existing data and research, and identify when primary research is needed.
  • Utilize a range of mixed-methods research tools and data to improve work.
  • Track the performance of work post-launch and continue to optimize based on data.
  • Ensure digital products can be experienced by everyone, reflecting the diversity of the communities served.
