I have been instrumental in shaping the standards and guidance for all Meta product makers, with a strong focus on prioritizing the privacy, safety & wellbeing of children. My efforts have revolved around developing age-appropriate experiences, and here are a couple of key accomplishments:
I spearheaded a global co-design program, engaging experts and individuals as collaborators in our design process. This approach empowered participants to actively contribute and ensured that our products align with their needs. This work was further strengthened through extensive engagement with Data Regulators, Civil Society, and Academic communities.

I played a pivotal role in developing a process at Meta to apply the principles of the UN's Convention on the Rights of the Child directly to our products and user experiences. We blended our internal research with insights from global data protection regulators to create Meta's Best Interests of the Child Framework. This framework distills the "best interests of the child" standard into six key considerations that guide our product teams throughout the development process.

We created Family Center—an innovative platform designed to empower parents and guardians in providing online support to their teenagers. This platform offers a range of supervision tools and educational resources curated by leading experts. In its development, we adopted a co-design methodology in conjunction with comprehensive foundational research and usability testing.
