Meta - A Northstar Onboarding Concept (NDA)
Summer 2025 - under kind guidance from the Core Growth team
OVERVIEW
A series of learning, iterating, and cross-functional collaborating
This summer, I spent 3 months at Menlo Park working on a Northstar onboarding experience for the Meta AI app. I collaborated with engineers, project managers, and designers to create a functional 0-1 design they could use to guide future decisions. Towards the end of my internship, I presented my work to the directors of Central Products and received overwhelmingly positive feedback.
REFLECTIONS
At the end of the day, hard work will always shine through!
Being in the office every day with people who are willing to give their time and effort to talk to me fostered an incredible learning environment — one where I absorbed hard and soft skills, whilst challenging my preconceived notions about the design process. Throughout my time at Meta, I got the opportunity to talk to designers I never thought I could, and learned how to maximize my days in the office by being curious!
TESTIMONIALS
Kind words from kind people!
"This work is really, really good. You took a project that was super ambiguous and made it a legit north star— something that when you look at it, you think, "I want this now! What do we need to do to ship this thing!". These prototypes are sick. And your command of interaction design and craft here comes through. You did a wonderful job navigating a complex, ambiguous project and framed it into something compelling, inspiring, and novel. I have no notes.
Tommy Giglio - Design Director
"Seriously, it was really awesome to work with you and see how you learn new things and push really hard to become a better designer. I like how motivated you are to make beautiful and useful things, there are few of us who really love designing things and I'm really glad that you are one of those people.”
Ivan Kolygin - Principal Product Designer
