Profile: https://flows.cv/jacobhernandez

With over 10 years of experience in design and product design, I am passionate about creating equitable and trustworthy products that empower people and communities. I am currently a Senior Product Designer for Trust Equity at LinkedIn, where I explore ways to design consumer-facing products that focus on creating equal access to opportunity and help drive equitable outcomes for misrepresented communities.

When I'm not designing, you can find me practicing & teaching yoga, drinking tea, taking a hike in the redwoods, or learning about astrology and Human Design.
