Profile: https://flows.cv/tonynguyen1

I'm a Senior Product Designer with 15+ years of design experience (including graphic design), passionate about creating user-centric designs. My background spans from graphic design to product design, blending creativity with technical know-how.

At Meta, I led the design of a conversational AI tool for developers, earning two patents along the way. I thrive in ambiguity and collaboration, with experience in B2B SaaS, internal tools, and developer platforms. Highlights include organizing Connect 2022 and getting recognized by Nvidia's CEO at SIGGRAPH for our AI work.

After a brief break for family matters, I'm excited to dive back in and tackle new challenges in innovative projects.
