Elyssa Dennin

Product Design Leader

I'm interested in how ideas become systems, how systems become products, and how products become part of people's lives.

I currently work at Meta, designing new creation formats aimed at making Facebook feel more expressive, participatory, and culturally relevant. Before that, I led a ground-up redesign of the end-to-end creation experience across posts, stories, and reels.

Before Meta, I worked at Attentive, designing the world's first text message marketing platform. As the company's sixth employee and first product design hire, I shaped the foundational product experience, later growing the design organization to over 50 people.

Outside of product work, I'm designing and building Greengage, a Georgian-inspired farmhouse in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. I enjoy writing about architecture, proportion, materials, constraints, and the decision-making behind building a new-old house.
