> Principal Product Designer at LinkedIn

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

As a designer at LinkedIn, I'm a creative thinker with a passion for innovation. My skills in Figma, product thinking, and architecture to create engaging and user-friendly experiences for hiring managers. I joined LinkedIn in 2017 as a Product Designer, then moved into a leadership role in 2019 to manage a design team focused on Recruiter search and messaging. In 2022 I switched to the job seeker team, helping lead the team towards multiple product visions focused on helping job seekers discover and apply to relevant jobs. In October 2023, I decided to move back into an individual contributor role to focus on what I love most: creating and getting hands on in solving deep problems. I'm currently working on tools to help hiring managers hire candidates.

I have over 9 years of experience in product design, working in various areas across ecommerce, wayfinding, enterprise platforms and consumer focused products. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley, where I won multiple awards and honors for my projects. My mission is to use design as a tool to empower people and connect them with opportunities. I am passionate about learning new technologies, trends, and best practices in design, and collaborating with diverse and talented teams. (this summary was written with GAI.. could you tell?)
