# Anna Wu > Senior Product Designer at PAR | Accessible, intentional, and impactful design Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/annawu1 Hi, I'm Anna, a Product Designer based in San Francisco, CA. My approach to design is rooted in user-centric research and connecting with humans to create inclusive, usable, and accessible solutions. I am passionate about creating new experiences that make a meaningful impact and help users achieve their goals. Just like the innovation that surrounds us, I am constantly trying to discover new ways to evolve and better my craft. My extensive background in customer experience and marketing allows me to advocate for the needs of users. I aim to make complex problems simple and delightful, by focusing on a data and empathy-driven approach for both users and stakeholders. When I’m not busy designing, you’ll find me hiking around the Bay Area Peninsula with my two Shiba Inus. I am a huge foodie and will almost always try anything once. I am open to discussing new roles, projects, creative ideas, or opportunities. Let's connect! Portfolio: Currently redesigning this. Stay tuned!
