• Design and improve UX workflows for an internal requirements-management platform.
• Redesign screens and user flows for:
  • Document creation and management
  • Requirements creation and editing
  • Requirement dependency linking
  • Coverage and traceability views
  • Data-dense tables
  • Graph and relationship views
  • Hierarchical and administrative interfaces
• Translate complex technical workflows into clear, efficient, and intuitive user experiences.
• Conduct user interviews and gather feedback fromSystems Engineers, Architects, TPMs, and other technical stakeholders.
• Identify usability issues and propose practical design solutions.
• Create wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, prototypes, and interaction designs inFigma.
• Build and maintain reusable components, variants, and patterns within established design systems.
• Deliverdeveloper-ready design specifications, including interaction details, states, edge cases, and annotations.
• Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, technical stakeholders, and other designers.
