Think research, testing, wireframes, and prototypes.

- Conduct user research, test and study usage, alongside reviewing and prioritising user and product requirements
- Develop sketches, wireframes, prototypes, and designs that succinctly illustrate user journeys, content structure, hierarchy, and navigation
- Facilitate workshops, champion UX within Sports and Playtech, and present and explain UX decisions to internal and external stakeholders
