> Product Design Manager at Lyft (ex Meta, Snowflake)

Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/bradsant

With over 10 years of experience in Product & User Experience (UX) Design, I've learned how much I enjoy building something that makes people's lives better. 

I enjoy building & managing teams (would love to broaden this skillset, feel free to reach out with opportunities!) and I enjoy taking broad, conceptual ideas and turning them into something useful and valuable for vast audiences. I design flows and experiences that are simple, elegant and contribute to high-level strategic decisions with product and executive teams and stakeholders. I also give and solicit feedback from other designers in order to continually raise the bar for quality while partnering with PMs, engineers, researchers and content strategists to oversee the user experience of a product from conception to launch.

Design is everywhere. Let's go make cool things for great people!
