# Haley McKay > Senior Product Designer @ Amplify · UX/UI Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/haleymckay When I heard about UX/UI Design, I was hooked. It was the perfect world where I could use my passion for people, my background in digital marketing, art, and data, and my creative, yet analytical, mind. It was like the perfect storm. On this UX/UI Design path, I have this insatiable curiosity to learn, empathize with people, and share stories through digital designs.

Outside of navigating my new career path, I’m either exploring a new city with friends or family, whipping up some delicious pastries, or finding my next outdoor adventure. https://www.haleymckay.com/ If you’d like to learn more about how my skills and experience can help your company, or just want to chat about design, please send me a message. ## Work Experience ### Senior Product Designer @ Amplify Jan 2025 – Present ### UX/UI Designer @ Amplify Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 ### Associate UX/UI Designer @ Amplify Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 ### Retail Ambassador @ Allbirds Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 I decided to take on a part-time position to keep my business and communication skills sharp while I work on a certificate in UX/UI Design full-time.
