Like to spend your days staring at artboards in Figma
Are obsessed with creating delightful micro-interactions and animations

Have good judgement of when to ship
Like to level up your design skills continually
Put yourselves in the shoes of our users to craft a great experience
Enjoy being a generalist and are not tied down to a specific design, trend, or tools
