# Sarah Simpson > Product Designer at Meta Location: San Mateo, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/sarahsimpson www.sarahtannerdesigns.com My approach to design goes beyond visual aesthetics—it’s holistic, user-centered and collaborative. I’m a creative thinker, passionate about creating simple solutions to complex, conceptual ideas. I strive to deliver meaningful, compelling and cohesive experiences—using data to influence design decisions. My biggest strength is the ability to see a strategic vision, while simultaneously creating pixel perfect designs. ## Work Experience ### Senior Product Designer @ Oculus VR Jan 2023 – Present | United States ### Product Design Manager @ Oculus VR Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | Burlingame, California, United States ### Senior Product Designer @ Oculus VR Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | Menlo Park, California, United States ### Product Designer @ Facebook Jan 2017 – Jan 2020 | Menlo Park, California ### Senior Product UI / UX Designer @ Redbooth, Inc.
