In June 2020, I joined the Promotional Tools team as a product design intern. The Promotional Tools team owned the loyalty experience for Facebook. At Facebook, I worked on B2B and B2C experiences in collaboration with engineers, a content strategist, a researcher, a product manager, and other product designers.

As the work I’ve done has not been made public at the moment, I’m unable to disclose more information regarding my work.

I was initially placed in the Seattle area but due to COVID-19, I worked remotely from Vancouver, Canada. Even though this wasn't the internship that I imagined, I still learned a lot, even working from my bedroom.

The biggest takeaway for me was to communicate with my cross-functional partners as early and frequently as I could. This enabled me to iterate, iterate, and iterate some more while receiving feedback with insights and perspectives outside of my own knowledge and background.
