# Wye King > Lead Product Designer Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/wye Experienced product designer thriving in the SaaS space. I love collaborative design jams, building with scrappy teams, imbuing scalability, and having strategic conversations about long-term product growth. Most of all, I'm passionate about inclusive design. I like to live in the space where creativity meets access to make things better for people. When I'm not designing, I can be found doing acro & aerial tricks in the park, sipping on amaretto sours, and visiting other parts of the world. Somewhere along the way, I might just pick up a new language or two. ## Work Experience ### Lead Interaction Designer @ Google Jan 2022 – Present | United States ### Independent Senior Product Designer @ Various Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 Compass, Case-New Holland, and more.
