Women of Meta Design
A community for women in design roles across Meta to come together, offer advice, share stories, and collaborate to solve issues within our community.
Program Highlights
Women of Meta Design has been instrumental in supporting the growth and development of hundreds of women in the Meta Design community since 2016. The mentorship pillar has been revered as one of the most successful mentorship programs offered to Meta designers. Steered by a leadership team of 3-5 volunteer designers, the program matches mentors and mentees based on their career goals and growth aspirations.
Participant Testimonials
"The programming, including speakers and workshop content, has really helped me reflect on my strengths and growth opportunities to define my career's direction. I also appreciate the community aspect that you've fostered - you've brought together awesome ladies with shared goals and provided a forum for important discussion. Thanks for all your hard work!"
"The talks at the beginning of the sessions are really good. I feel like I'm getting mentored through these talks even as a mentor in the program. I also enjoyed the chance to meet a junior researcher, learn about her first year at Facebook, and sharing my own experience"
"[Without the program] I would not have been so intentional about thinking where I should aim my energy. Every session helped me dig deeper in a specific area. I've realized how important it is post to gain visibility and to also be proactive about communicating my prioritizing."
"Being able to see myself and the different situations I've gone through...from the perspective of an outsider, my mentee has been invaluable to me. It's helped me see what I could have done better...and appreciate what I've accomplished."
