Profile: https://flows.cv/georgehayes

With over a decade of product design experience, I am passionate about creating engaging, intuitive, and accessible products that empower people to connect, learn, and grow. As a Staff Product Designer at LinkedIn, I led the design of the LinkedIn Pages admin experience, helping organizations showcase their brand, culture, and opportunities to millions of professionals.

In my previous role as a Senior Product Designer at LinkedIn, I worked on various projects to enhance the user experience of LinkedIn Pages, Elevate, and Lookup. I researched, designed, and prototyped new features and solutions to help organizations and employees amplify their voice, reach, and impact on the platform. I applied my skills in UX, UI, and mobile design, as well as my knowledge of human-computer interaction, interaction design, and psychology, to create products that are user-centered, data-informed, and socially responsible.
