·  Interviewing and user testing skills.
·  Deep understanding of UX practices and methodologies.
·  Knowledge of Sketch and Invision.

·  Collaboration skills.
·  Strong communication and presentation skills.

·  Planning, organisational, and time management skills, with the ability to prioritise own workload.
