# Jonathan Iggy Igner > Lead Creative Technologist Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/jonathaniggyigner I see product development from a holistic, bird's-eye view and want to be part of bringing beautiful, delightful products to market. As a UX & Product Design Technologist with Volkswagen Group of America, I worked on the future of in-car UX, user interface, software and design systems for a global group of the world’s best automotive brands. As a Staff Product Designer at HOVER, I worked on making a 3D computer vision product usable by anyone, technical or not. And as an original design hire at SnowShoe, I built toys for rappers and kids. I love building products from both design and technology perspectives. I also love unlocking the thinking, productivity and creativity of teams to build designs that do more than serve a functional purpose...they can be fun, too.
