Facebook Interface Guidelines: Our Approach to Designing for Billions of People

The Interfaces & Design Tools team at Facebook will discuss its design system, FIG (Facebook Interface Guidelines) and the tools that power Facebook design.

Join us on July 13, 2017 from 6:00-8:00PM in Menlo Park for a small gathering to learn more about the team and the process for how we design at Facebook. You'll be hearing from Shali Nguyen, Product Design Manager and Kara Fong, Design Program Manager on the Interfaces team at Facebook as well as Scott Horsfall, Product Designer on the Design Tools team.

We'll be walking through:

• An overview and history of our Design System “FIG”
• Typical design considerations
• Give a peek into the Design Tools that power Product Design @ Facebook!

The event will be located at the Facebook HQ (1 Facebook Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025) in Lobby 4.

There will be food and bevvies! This talk will not be recorded.
