# Tim Wong > Creative Lead | Visual & Prototype Design | Design Systems | AI-Driven Experiences | Ex-Google & Facebook Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/timwong I’m a Lead Product and Visual Designer with 23+ years of experience shaping product ecosystems at Google, Samsung, Zillow, and Meta. I work at the intersection of complex technology and human-centered craft. My focus is clarity at scale, defining design systems, interaction models, and visual direction that help teams ship high-quality products without losing coherence or polish. Most recently, I wrapped up a contract at Meta (Reality Labs), working on AI-driven spatial experiences for Horizon OS. The work focused on onboarding, agentic workflows, and interaction patterns for emerging AR and spatial computing platforms. What I focus on: • Visual leadership across complex, multi-surface products • Scalable design systems spanning iOS, Android, and web • AI and emerging tech, including voice systems and non-deterministic interfaces Outside of work, I’m usually 3D modeling in Blender, baking bread to a Sarah McLachlan soundtrack, or knitting questionable scarves for my rescue dogs, Wigi and Olive. Open to conversations about design leadership, AI workflows, and spatial systems. ## Work Experience ### Creative Director @ Tim Wong Design Jan 2004 – Present | United States Design consultant for stealth startups and cinematographer for non-profit organizations. ### Product Designer Meta AI · Horizon OS @ Meta Jan 2025 – Jan 2025 | United States Designed user experiences for Meta AI on Horizon OS, focusing on interaction patterns, conversation flows, and spatial UI on Quest.
