# Dany S. > Sr. Product Designer and Giph Giver Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/danys Curiosity is my catalyst and design is my passion. I enjoy collaborating, solving problems and being an advocate for the user. Usually you can find me at a coffee shop with my head down creating something. When I'm not designing, I'm hiking, traveling, stuffing my face with delicious food or on the hunt for a great craft cocktail. ## Work Experience ### Senior UX Designer (Design Systems) @ SAP Jan 2024 – Present • Create and evolve components and patterns for the Fiori Mobile Design System. • Partner closely with app and development teams across SAP to strengthen our impact and adoption. • Work closely with SDK devs to deliver high quality and accessible mobile iOS components. ### Senior Product Designer @ Meta Jan 2019 – Jan 2024 | Menlo Park, California • Built a zero-to-one product for the Recruiting team that helped candidates interview with Meta – 30% retention rate and 17% increase in reaching the next stage. • Reduced cost-to-serve for Meta Store customer support by 46% – built self-serve experiences for customers and improved agent tools. • Created designs and immersive experiences for customers shopping for MR and VR products that led to a 6+% increase in add-to-cart and reduced bounce rate by 18%. • Contributed to and helped scale our design systems by creating new components and expanding on functionality. • Worked closely with PMs, engineers and business partners on roadmap initiatives, strategic planning and project alignment. • Mentored the growth of 4 junior designers to foster a culture of continuous learning and professional development within the team. ### Senior UX Designer @ Sharethrough Jan 2016 – Jan 2019 | San Francisco Bay Area Lead designer for Advertising platform.
