• Maintain high attention to detail across spacing, typography, alignment, and consistency.
• Thoroughly proof check all work prior to hand off or internal review.
• Keep design files organised, up to date, and aligned with internal processes.

Learning & Development

• Actively develop UI design skills, staying up to date with relevant tools, trends, and best practices.
• Participate in design reviews and critiques, contributing feedback and applying learnings to future work.
