• Design and refine executive presentation decks, including executive decks for internal and external audiences.
• Create visually compelling materials for conferences—both UX and technical—including slides, signage, and demo visuals.
• Ensure all conference design aligns with product messaging, brand identity, and audience needs.

• Own the UX and visual design for all product demos.
• Develop cohesive demo flows that clearly communicate product value and functionality.
• Collaborate with product and engineering to ensure demo environments reflect real-world use cases.

• Work closely with product managers, engineers, and marketing leads to understand needs and translate them into thoughtful UX solutions.

• Strong portfolio showcasing UX thinking, visual design, and multi-surface work (web, product, presentations).
• Proficiency with modern design tools (Figma preferred).
• Ability to work independently, take initiative, and adapt quickly to shifting priorities.
• Experience designing for both product and marketing teams is a strong plus.
• Excellent communication skills and comfort presenting design decisions to stakeholders.
