About Me
I've spent my career as a storyteller who helps people understand complicated things.
At Meta, I was the content designer behind the naming and launch of Facebook's Professional Mode (100M+ daily active users), turning dense legal and financial language into something people could actually follow. I then led teams of up to 10 content designers across Facebook's Creator Monetization, Feed, Notifications, and Reels products as well as our central Craft team.
I drove AI adoption for my team and streamlined my own administrative and management processes. I also wrote system prompts and response guidelines for the AI products we built for our users.
Before Meta, I spent a decade as an editor at Departures, Centurion, Food & Wine, and Travel + Leisure, and freelanced for Michelin, Bloomberg, and Luxe. Writing for this many publications taught me to quickly land the voice and tone that fits a brand.
It's all the same job. I meet people where they are, figure out what they need to know, and say it clearly. And I do this with a caring, global mindset, which I learned from teaching English in Italy, South Korea, and Costa Rica.
Oh, and I briefly worked for a major Hollywood actor (ask me about that in person), but my calling as a writer was simply too overpowering.

Editing
I regularly oversaw editorial packages, from fielding pitches and managing freelance writers to handling budgets and editorial calendars. Here are just a few examples:

I had the privilege of tapping the world's top interior designers to learn how to bring color into spaces. This was part of an entire section I helped produce all about color in the Departures Spring 2019 Home + Design issue. I also assigned, edited, and oversaw the photo shoot for a story in the section about Gaetano Pesce (digital version here)

UX Portfolio
For privacy reasons, please contact me directly for my UX Portfolio. What's inside:
I joined Meta in 2020 to help bring more creators to the Facebook app. As a content designer, I migrated all Page users to the New Pages Experience and then drove the naming, onboarding experience, and zero-to-one launch of Professional Mode.
Millions of users quickly onboarded to Professional Mode, so the Creators team expanded significantly. I transitioned into management to help build a team of content designers who can explain everything from monetization and copyright policy to fandom and distribution.
I also navigate ambiguity easily, so I often pivoted onto other high-stakes projects. This included merging all video experiences under the Reels brand and supporting the redesign of both Facebook Feed and Notifications, two highly optimized surfaces that required executive-level risk assessment for every pixel touched.
