Alexander Mayes
A lead product designer at Facebook, currently working on Portal. Designing experiences and shaping strategy that connects people to the ones they love through live video conferencing and immersive experiences. Accomplished by leading design work for Portal Human Interfaces and Portal TV.
Recently, worked on AR blue sky experiences for Facebook's Building 8, the secretive team at Facebook. Most of the products were hidden, but design work was centered around forward thinking AR products and hardware in the home.
Before Facebook, was a lead designer at Instagram. Designed experiences and helped build a team that was focusing on enabling business and top accounts (BEYONCE!) to better succeed on Instagram. Grew to over 25 million business and top accounts in just year and a half.
Additionally, work encompasses many other spaces over the past 10 years. This includes eCommerce, entertainment advertising, visual effects, branding, and marketing.
Personally, I am excited about designing products that mean something to me and others. My goal is to create experiences that I'm proud of while aligning to product strategy. I'm driven to push for progress, knowledge, and quality while designing experiences and solving problems for actual people.
