ABOUT

Hello, I'm Rebekah!

I'm a Product Design Lead at Facebook with a passion for creating digital products and services that are intuitive and impactful. I have a strong foundation in UX, visual design, AI design, mentoring, project management and design leadership.

I work in a diverse team of designers, engineers and product managers working towards creating user-centric products that provide meaning and purpose in people's everyday lives. I believe that technology has the power to build strong communities and create a more inclusive world. I enjoy empathizing with people and crafting digital experiences that both empower users and boost business growth.

With over 6 years of experience, my goal is to help people resonate with the digital space in a delightful way.
