Push the boundaries of design by staying current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices. Present design concepts and strategies to leadership and stakeholders, clearly articulating rationale and impact. Understand and appreciate that Nerdy is an apolitical company and that we can have the largest impact if we are united in our focus on helping people learn and not divided or distracted by advancing unrelated causes.
