You understand classic doesn’t mean boring. You understand the importance of the user experience and have the talent and expertise to design an interface that engages site visitors to the point where they want to write you fan mail. You have a keen eye for detail. You work well independently, and love to collaborate with leadership and supporting teammates. Sure you’ve eaten spicy food, but you have this urge to design a spicy experience. Deep down… you know you have that itch. Deadlines? You don’t fear no stinking deadlines. Pressure is a motivator. You do fantastic work and you love what you do.
