- Ensure all conference design aligns with product messaging, brand identity, and audience needs.
Demo Experience Design

- Develop cohesive demo flows that clearly communicate product value and functionality.

- 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.
