• Proven experience implementing GenAI tools into a professional design pipeline, with a clear understanding of prompt engineering, quality control, and brand governance.

• Comfort collaborating on experiments (A/B vs multi‑armed bandits) with Growth; understands trade‑offs between optimization speed and causal certainty.
