I worked with Fas for almost exactly two years within Meta's Enterprise Infrastructure & Security Product/Design organization. Fas joined as a design manager and was absolutely instrumental in reshaping our design approach.
Fas introduced advanced system design processes to the team and promoted consistency and standards across the org. He brings unique academic pedigree to the field and acts just as much of a teacher as he does a manager. His team was often digesting new learnings and concepts as part of his leadership approach.
As I work cross-functionally in the org, the standardized approach to design became evident in a short matter of time as our interfaces, branding, and interactions all started aligning in application.
Working with Fas was a privilege and I'm excited to see the next chapter in his career as he completes his dissertation and continues to contribute to the greater design community both professionally and academically.
