Part 1

I was responsible for developing the design strategy for the company. This included understanding the business goals and creating a plan to implement the strategy. Additionally, I collaborated closely with related departments such as marketing, analytics, and engineering to ensure that all departments' goals were aligned, and their needs and requirements were considered in the product design implementation process.

One of my key responsibilities was hiring designers and developing their relevant design competencies within the company. I provided growth opportunities and managed the design team, directing designers, inspiring and motivating them to achieve their best work.

Ensuring the effectiveness of the design team and design management was a crucial aspect of my role. To achieve this, I closely managed each stage of the design process, from research to implementation. This included ensuring that each stage was executed efficiently and that the team was meeting its goals and objectives.

Part 2

My responsibilities include managing design resources between teams and clearly defining each team member's responsibilities. I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including product managers, engineers, and other stakeholders to ensure that design solutions meet business objectives and user needs.

I also control design debt and ensure that designs are delivered on time. Additionally, I ensure consistency in UI elements, patterns, and design systems across different products and platforms.

As part of my role, I own the UX copy function, including the development of copy guidelines and standards for all user-facing text. To stay up-to-date with the latest trends and tendencies in UX/UI design, I frame our team's work around them.
I am seeking to join a company that offers interesting products with ambitious challenges. I have experience leading product design teams and am excited to share my knowledge while learning from a strong team.

Culture is important to me, and I seek a company that values constructive feedback, empathy, and transparency. As a value-oriented leader, I always prioritize people and have a proven ability to quickly create or fix processes to facilitate high-quality design solutions efficiently.

I am excited to bring my skills and experience to a new team and contribute to creating exceptional user experiences.
