# Elizabeth W. Sayen > UX Designer | Product Designer | Organizer Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/elizabethwsayen I am a reflective and empathetic designer who cares deeply about people, teams, contributions and solutions and how we impact the world around us. I aim to create friction-free digital products and/or physical experiences that are meaningful, efficient and helpful. In addition to being able to design and deliver, I bring passion, levity and ownership to each team I join. My drive, proactive nature and innate curiosity contribute to the end-to-end design process and to a successful launch.
