In order to get a sense of what we were working with, I learned the Facebook stack proprietary CMS and designed and coded 50+ pages on new site during the course of the project.

These are a sample of pages I built and designed as part of the migration, as well as establishing templated component styles:

• EMEA Beauty article

• Shifts for 2020: Blurring Boundaries article

• Topics to Watch and Hot Topics page templates

• Series page template and all articles in 45up Series

The lead Facebook developer and I ran workshops with Front End developers to teach the Facebook IQ editorial team on how to build basic pages and edit articles if they needed to make quick changes. This was valuable to give the Facebook IQ team the insight to appreciate the work, skills and time required to build complicated pages by other team members.

• Weekly build days in the coming weeks before launch

• Booked a conference room every Thursday where our team would hang out and build pages together, share work and train each other in knowledge gaps

Managed various internal and external teams, budgets, schedules and their deliverables:

• Brand Refresh Design agency/vendor

• Site Visual Redesign agency/vendor

• Data visualization design updates merging Facebook IQ Brand ID with Candela—Facebook’s product data visualization guidelines

• Engineering teams for Facebook stack

• Front End Developer and Build teams
