· 
You’ve fueled the growing appreciation for user experience.

You’ll come right up to speed if:

You have experience designing B2B applications.

· 
You have experience creating personas and talking with representative users to drive your designs forward and validate direction.

· 
You’re passionate, persistent and can persuade others; you are a natural collaborator, presenter and persuader.

· 
You know the ins-and-outs of at least one of the UX wireframing/prototyping tools, e.g., Axure, Sketch, Illustrator, InvisionApp, etc.

·
