You'll partner with members of a cross functional team in order to establish targets for the player experience and interaction design details.

Responsibilities:
• Communicate your data-informed vision and design rationale to cross-functional stakeholders
• Deliver appropriate level of design artifacts for the team (journey maps, flows, wireframes, mockups, and/or prototypes)
