  • Mentor designers and engineers on using data, analytics, research, and technology to improve design outcomes
  • Assess tools and frameworks and drive their adoption across teams
  • Track advances in LLMs, code, content organization, and conversation design, and recommend GenAI solutions that fit team requirements and the design vision
