Write clear specifications so design intent is unambiguous, and run design QA against both the intent and the Design System.
Give clear rationale for your decisions, resolve design and product deadlocks, escalate when you need feedback or mediation, and communicate trade-offs when priorities compete.
Serve as Project Owner on occasion. We don't have full-time delivery managers, so one team member leads each project as its Owner during delivery, communicating progress and coordinating releases.
Be a product expert: know how our product works, the personas and use cases we support, and how that translates into UI-level design solutions.
Represent the craft: uphold professional standards in design thinking, problem solving, usability, UX, and UI; give and receive design critique; and help maintain and evolve the Design System.
