# Amelie Au > Senior Product Designer at Apolitical Location: London Area, United Kingdom, United Kingdom Profile: https://flows.cv/amelieau Hi, I’m Amelie, currently designing at Apolitical. I've worked in creative agency and in-house environments for a wide spectrum of clients. My work experience has given me unique insight and an integrated perspective across brand, marcom, and product. I am multidisciplinary, thoughtful, and detail-oriented in the way I approach my work. And a good sense of humour doesn't hurt either. I love working with smart, creative people who are good at what they do. Even better when the work we're doing has a net positive on the world. ## Work Experience ### Senior Product Designer @ Apolitical Jan 2026 – Present | London, United Kingdom ### Freelance Creative Lead @ Unknown Jan 2025 – Jan 2026 | San Francisco ### Production Design Lead @ Airbnb Jan 2025 – Jan 2025 | San Francisco Bay Area Worked under the Airbnb Marcom team on one of their marketing surfaces for a big product launch.
