Define service touchpoints, user flows, and backstage processes that align with strategic, operational, and emotional drivers.
Collaborate with UX/UI, industrial design, engineering, and business strategy teams to ensure cohesive service delivery.
Translate research and strategy into high-fidelity service artifacts (journey maps, service blueprints, personas, process flows, KPI frameworks).
Support concept development by identifying opportunity areas, friction points, and high-value service moments.
Prepare clear presentations and deliverables for client workshops, executive reviews, and internal planning.

Strong skills in journey mapping, blueprinting, ecosystem modeling, and systems-thinking frameworks.
Ability to work cross-functionally with UX, engineering, and business teams.
Experience designing services for physical + digital hybrid ecosystems is a significant plus (CPG, MedTech, SaaS, consumer electronics, etc.).
