Systems thinker: You see patterns and build reusable systems that scale, without losing craft or polish.

Strong interaction and visual design chops: You obsess over clarity, typography, and visual hierarchy. You know how to make a dense form feel delightful.

Startup mindset: You thrive in ambiguity, move quickly, and love ownership. You're comfortable shipping v1s that evolve fast.
