- Initiate, suggest, and spearhead major UI refactorings for a more intuitive user-experience
- Design elegant solutions to complex workflows. Design things that people will talk about
- Be the user-advocate during the development process, subjecting early-stage designs to usability testing or expert review, and offering implementation suggestions from a user-centered perspective
- Act as the "go to" with in-depth knowledge of user interface methodologies and standards. Use research-related services, theories and methods to support your recommendations
- Take the initiative in providing input and feedback in both departmental discussions and on issues relating to other departments
