At Instagram, Linda and I worked together on Retail Formats, which covered a breadth of projects; we operated across all organic surfaces, and built products for sellers/advertisers as well as for users and creators. Linda supported 4 product designers and spearheaded content initiatives across multiple teams’ projects — operating across different time zones.
Linda’s ability to constantly context switch and pay close attention to detail helped our teams move efficiently and effectively. Even in our fast-paced environment, Linda always ensured we were championing strong user experiences, upholding a high bar for craft and staying close to our product principles.
Throughout our time working together, Linda also acted as a mentor to me, providing support and guidance as I (a newer graduate) navigated various work environments. Her care extended well past the products we worked on.
Linda was an invaluable partner to our product team, and I’m lucky to have been able to work with her.
