> Staff Product Designer

Profile: https://flows.cv/patrick

I believe empowering people with humane technology, and that good design is essential for growth. I'm a self-taught designer with an insatiable curiosity about people and technology. I have business acumen, use modern thinking to solve ambiguous problems, and find joy in the pursuit of craft. Currently, I'm a product designer at Linktree, working on tools to help people curate, grow, and monetize their digital universe. Prior, I led design on Cameo for Business, a marketplace connecting brands with celebrities and influencers to create short form video messages.
