# Swati Balasubramanian > Senior Product Designer at Adobe | Enterprise AI Experiences | Design Mentor Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/swatibalasubramanian I believe in the simplicity of the things: a valuable product, interactive user experience, and empathetic designs not only facilitate solutions to human problems, but also create a roller coaster of emotional experiences for people by bringing out a feeling in every human-computer interaction. My effort to translate this passion for simplicity, usability, design and fascination towards the evolution of smart technology drives me to learn new things and challenge myself everyday.
