Facebook Stories

Product Design Intern

Summer 2020

In 2020 I joined Facebook as a product design intern, working with the incredibly talented people on the Stories team. As an avid photographer, designing for Stories was a dream come true.

Some of the features I helped design during my internship.

Annual Hackathon

Near the end of my internship, I teamed up with a handful of FB employees to compete in Facebook’s annual hackathon. Our team won two major awards:

• 1st Place—Remote Presence

• 1st Place—Quality of Work

We won 2 awards for our Facebook hackathon project.

Takeaways

Shipping products within a large organization can feel slow and bureaucratic. I learned to use collaboration, clear communication, and persuasion to get things done. Facebook’s rigorous design process impressed upon me the importance of focus and craft, which are core to my work today.
