Profile: https://flows.cv/emilylisanti

I’m a multi-disciplinary product designer passionate about solving complex problems through systemic thinking, iteration and research. I’m an excellent end-to-end product designer, digging into the “why” and making sure what is being designed is the right solution. 

I have experience in B2B SaaS, fintech, ecommerce and edtech companies as well as in user research, usability testing, end-to-end product design, information architecture, UX/UI design, project management, prototyping, and systems design.
