# Kelly Colglazier > Product Designer at Threads Location: Seattle, Washington, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/kellycolglazier View my portfolio at kellyhc.com. I’m a Seattle-based UI and UX designer with a serious passion for typography and problem solving. As a grid enthusiast with a deep understanding of type, I relish opportunities to work with letterforms both professionally and in my creative lair under the stairs. I translate copy and ideas into visual output with aplomb and enjoy working with copywriters, UX designers, and developers in designing for the web. I bring a sense of humor and, I’m told, an uncanny patience to erratic, high-pressure work atmospheres. I get stuff done. ## Work Experience ### Product Designer @ Meta Jan 2025 – Present Threads Youth Protections ### Product Designer @ Meta Jan 2022 – Jan 2025 As part of the Instagram Trust & Safety team, I created product experiences that empower the Instagram community to understand and control their privacy in the way that's right for them.
