• Be opinionated but open to change Bring a point of view but be ready to change that. We have an amazing group of colleagues and customers who provide feedback on a regular basis.
• Collaboration Foster a collaborative design process. Share your work early and often. Seek out regular feedback from stakeholders and the wider design team. Present your work in updates and critiques. Filter and prioritise any feedback for a successful outcome.
