Profile: https://flows.cv/petersynak

I’m a creative thinker based in San Francisco, specializing in brand, visual, experience, and product design. Throughout my career, I’ve remained dedicated to helping companies develop impactful products, nurture a compelling vision, and guiding them through significant milestones at every stage of development.

Drawing upon over 16 years of expertise I specialize in designing, prototyping, leading, and collaborating with small teams. I guide the development of purpose-driven products across various design tools and stages, from developing strategies to articulating roadmaps and inventing new processes.

Before my time at Faraday Future, I expanded my skills extensively at Airlift, an independent design consultancy headquartered in California. I served as Partner and Principal Creative Director, strategically supporting my partners in scaling the company at every level.

Throughout my journey, I’ve held pivotal design roles at renowned companies including Airlift, MetaDesign, Method, Faraday Future, and Ammunition Group. I’ve led transformative projects for a variety of clients including Meta (formerly Facebook), Google, Samsung, Microsoft, Fitbit, Databricks, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, VW Group, and others.

I firmly believe in rolling up my sleeves and actively engaging and inspiring everyone to produce their finest work.
