UI / UX Designer

She creates and maintains DESIGN.md for each product, extracts visual identity from brand briefs or reference sites, defines color palettes, typography scales, component states, and layout principles. She writes specs detailed enough for the Frontend Engineer to implement without guesswork, and reviews shipped UI against the spec with Visual QA. She pushes back on dense enterprise-looking layouts and advocates for calm, spacious, premium interfaces.
