> Lead Product Designer, Growth at Bitly

Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/theodora

Lead Product designer with 10+ years of experience working on meaningful digital experiences, focusing on growth for SaaS companies. I’ve worked end-to-end across the design process on projects in various sectors, such as finance, social media, healthcare, government, and education.

I’ve successfully created and redesigned new products and features for SaaS, Enterprise, and e-commerce applications. More than once, I have acted as a design lead and mentor and advocated the importance of design in product development. 

My specialties include product thinking, conceptualizing, interaction design, and prototyping. Still, above all, I focus on designing meaningful, personalized, and easy-to-use products to win users the old-fashioned way: by choice.

My passion is combining physical and digital spaces and collaborating with multiple (design) disciplines to create unique interactions and experiences.
