# Grace Pilouk > VP, Lead Product Designer at Wells Fargo Location: San Mateo, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/gracepilouk Hi! I’m a UX and product designer who's big-picture oriented and enjoys thinking about product strategy and vision. I'm always looking to improve my craft when it comes to visual design, but I'm at my best when using my empathetic and intuitive skills to improve the usability of a product. My most interesting experience was working as the first designer for an early venture AR/VR startup that piloted at several VR arcade locations, including IMAX VR. Previously, I've also worked on several consumer-facing products in the hospitality, media, and finance/banking industries. ## Work Experience ### VP, Lead Product Designer @ Wells Fargo Jan 2023 – Present | San Francisco, California, United States ### Product Designer @ Wells Fargo Jan 2020 – Jan 2023 | San Francisco, California, United States ### User Experience/Product Designer @ Frederic Fekkai & Co Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 UX designer for company's innovations team.
