“Jen worked on developing copy for the MVP, collaborating closely with Product Design and Engineering. Jen also started work on calls tab disco post-MVP content and helped develop suggestions to future-proof the information architecture on the Play tab. She uncovered some key gaps in flows, and her efforts helped simplify Watch Together entry points. She also represented CD in meetings and work chats, answering questions on content standards and correcting outdated strings that engineers referenced.”

“Jen took her project a step further by creating mocks to show how the tab can shift to accommodate evolving user needs. She proposed adding subsections within the tab to house "Recently Played," "Most Popular," and "New Releases," with their respective links to display content overflows– making way for a contextual and digestible discovery experience for our users.” - Maxine

“(Jen) led content design for the Play Together calling, messaging, and saving flows. With Play Together's global rollout earlier this month, our team moved quickly to evolve our designs to include Play. Jen quickly took on the Play Together flows, including in-call notifications. In addition to these end-to-end flows, she owned Watch Together: IG Posts and Videos flows, including auto-chaining, and error states (i.e. cross-platform incompatibility).” - Maxine

“Identified glaring gaps in the product flows. She surfaced an inconsistency between the "Leave game" CTA on a call screen mockup and the "End game for everyone?" header on the confirmation dialog to Grace, the PD on the Play Together team, which resulted in the inclusion of both "End game" and "Leave game" as possible actions users can take while playing a game on a call.” - Maxine

PRODUCT IMPACT: Meets

“Jen communicates proactively, digs deep for context, and is largely self-directed. She works independently, ramping up to reliably execute through the phases of a project without a great deal of oversight from the manager or design lead” (My manager’s feedback from my review at Meta)

“Jen set herself up for success from the beginning by asking me to walk her through the Disco flows. Throughout our sync, she asked thoughtful questions around the user problems the project addresses, historical context surrounding the Watch Together and Group Effects flows, and how best to collaborate with me in and outside of the Figma file. Because she nailed her onboarding really early on in our partnership, she was able to confidently go about duplicating mocks and effectively communicate and iterate on her designs even in real time.” - Maxine

INFLUENCE: Meets

“Jen finds scalable ways to solve problems as demonstrated with her efforts, she considers multiple perspectives and creates thoughtful solutions.” (My manager’s feedback from my review at Meta)

“Developed a scalable, extensible framework. Jen quickly strategized ways to make games more easily discoverable on the "Play" tab by developing a framework for displaying games” - Maxine

Collaborating with cross-functional partners

“(Jen) Independently builds collaborative and productive working relationships with cross-functional peers in product design, research, PM, and other disciplines.” (My manager’s feedback from my review at Meta)

“Asked for feedback early and often. Jen readily looped in various xfn to her work and made sure that she's taken into consideration a more well-rounded POV on her designs. To gain context more broadly, Jen participates in pre-mortem discussions with eng, PM, and DS partners where we spot risks to launch and identify respective mitigations. From these conversations, Jen takes action items with quick turnarounds of 0-1 days, enabling our team to quickly iterate on designs in time for public testing.”

STRATEGY: Meets

“Demonstrates strong domain knowledge and strategic, big-picture thinking.” (My manager’s feedback from my review at Meta)

“Jen was able to take a step back from her projects and identify high-level opportunities to which she can extend her deep domain knowledge. She considered the full product journey, taking responsibility for not just immediate concerns around rich experiences, but also the long-term user experience.” - Maxine

“Jen developed a spectrum of designs for Disco to provide options to workstream leads and partner PDs to give feedback on, including designs that leaned more conservative (i.e. closer to what was expected based on existing designs) and those that were experimental (i.e. using more natural, contextual language to nudge users through each workflow). Jen challenged existing designs and provoked healthy conversation around the broader content framework for Disco, lending her vision to the success of the larger work stream beyond the scope of her work.” - Maxine
