• Simplify complex, modular experiences: Improve information hierarchy, interaction patterns, and module behavior across many Pin types and use cases, balancing relevance, clarity, and actionability.
• Partner across teams and systems: Work closely with adjacent teams (Home, Search, Visual Search, Gestalt) to align patterns and deliver a cohesive experience across the product.
• Prototype and iterate quickly: Use Figma and interactive prototyping to explore options, validate direction, and accelerate decision-making with partners.
• Raise the craft bar: Lead critiques and reviews, set a high standard for interaction and visual design, and mentor other designers through feedback and collaboration.
• Design for inclusion and trust: Ensure Closeup experiences are accessible, inclusive, and designed with content quality and safety considerations where needed.
