# Karen Liang > Senior Product Designer @ Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/karenliang As a Product Designer, I strive to find innovative solutions to difficult problems and I value collaborative environments where I can not only voice my opinions but more importantly, learn from others. I hope that with my designs, I am able to close the gap that exists between users and the innovative products emerging in the industry. Most importantly, I aspire to work on projects that are able to change the way people live and provide accessibility to those who are not as fortunate as many of us are. ## Work Experience ### Senior Product Designer @ Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Jan 2023 – Present | Redwood City, California, United States ### Product Designer @ Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 | Redwood City, California, United States ### Product Designer @ The Climate Corporation Jan 2018 – Jan 2021 | San Francisco Bay Area Led the design for the next generation FieldView product.
