Design Lead

As a design lead, you guide a team of designers to create products that are both beautiful and easy to use. Day to day, you set the creative direction, review your team's work, and make sure the experience stays consistent across screens and platforms. You spend time in design tools, but much of your job is leadership: coaching designers, running critiques, and working with product managers and engineers to turn ideas into real features. You balance hands-on design with the bigger picture, keeping quality high while helping your team grow and hit deadlines.
