# Lucy Kates > Senior Product Designer at LinkedIn Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/lucykates I’m a product designer with 6+ years of experience turning complex challenges into user-focused solutions. For the past ~four years, I designed interactions and features for LinkedIn’s Sales Navigator, an enterprise tool for sellers. Now, I’m focused on AI design offerings in LinkedIn’s consumer space. Earlier in my career, I worked at Uber, shaping a feature that improved user comprehension and retention. In my work, I’m passionate about equity and inclusion and aim to design solutions that are equitable, with their impact on different audiences carefully considered. I stay curious, continually exploring new tools and frameworks to push my work forward.
