flow, screen layouts, GUI elements, etc.;
+ create and fully develop GUI designs requiring your careful
attention to detail, user advocacy, teamwork, and a
thorough grasp of the product's "big picture" vision;
+ be a quick study -- rapidly coming up to speed on, refining,
and then building upon our existing body of research and
design work -- always applying a careful balance of creativity
and practicality.
NECESSARY SKILLS & EXPERIENCE
+ Experience with and a passion for user-centered design
applied across a full product lifecycle.
+ In depth experience with GUI designs for the handheld PDA.

+ Ability to debate, develop, and document complex interaction
concepts.
