• Comfortable navigating ambiguity, defining strategy, and bringing clarity through storytelling, facilitation, and collaboration.
• Proven ability to mentor and uplevel other designers, while role-modelling curiosity, resilience, and thoughtful design critique.
• A growth mindset and a track record of navigating complexity and change with focus and optimism.

• Familiarity with developer tools or technical domains adjacent to cybersecurity.
