Figma Expert: You are a master of modern design tools and have experience building or contributing to robust design systems.
Product Thinker: You don't just make things look pretty; you balance user needs with business goals and understand enterprise scalability.
Detail-Obsessed: You care deeply about polish and delight, ensuring every interaction feels intentional.
