Defining how a parts seller navigates and manages a catalogue of 500,000+ SKUs across multiple vehicle fitment hierarchies. Not just designing a table, but understanding how these people actually work and deciding what the right experience model is
Designing search and discovery experiences where a wrong match has real consequences. A brake pad that doesn't fit a vehicle isn't a bad recommendation, it's a safety issue. You need to deeply understand what confidence and clarity mean to the people using this
Bringing a strong point of view on what the experience should be to your PM and engineering lead. They own the product strategy. You own the user experience. The best outcomes happen when those perspectives push each other
Producing prototypes and high-fidelity designs that hold up in production, not just in Figma. You care about edge cases, states, and the messy reality of real data because real people will encounter all of it
Making hard trade-offs between speed, quality, and technical feasibility. You'll need to understand the codebase and data model well enough to know what's possible, and advocate for the experience that matters most within those constraints
Contributing to our design system and shared patterns so your best experience decisions scale beyond your own product area
Giving direct, specific feedback in critique that makes other designers, PM’s, and engineers work better
