About Charles Howard

With over six years of experience in product design and frontend development, I am a Senior Product Designer at Yarden, a leading Gardening company in the San Francisco Bay area that helps people grow their own food at home. I create, lead, and maintain the brand identity, define multiple products, and lead all design efforts across the company.I have a passion for AI, UI Engineering, and branding, and I have successfully designed and developed Yarden\'s first branded AI product, as well as created all fundraising materials, advertising campaigns, user research and content for B2B and B2C products. I use Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, React, and React Native as my main tools, and I am always eager to learn new technologies and best practices. I enjoy collaborating with other talented professionals and contributing to the company\'s vision and goals.
