> Product Designer at Farther

Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/gregallison

I was previously the Lead Designer at Backer, a consumer fintech startup. We launched two industry-first products and tripled our revenue yoy during my time there. Since then I've been picking up freelance gigs here and there while I work on my filmmaking and writing practice. 

Now I'm ready to get back out there to further my career as a designer. I'd like to focus on building products for large enterprises to maximize my impact and have the chance to work alongside incredible colleagues. 

My portfolio is a work in progress – like everything is. Let's have a discussion about it! Even if the fit isn't right I'm sure we'll both learn something valuable.
