Facebook Company needed a flexible graphic system for situations where commissioning illustration or photography wasn't feasible. I developed a modular toolkit built from foundational shapes—square, circle, triangle—that could combine to represent themes and concepts across departments. The approach stayed true to Facebook's "Empathetic Design" system: shapes were subtly imperfect rather than geometric, and color palettes pulled directly from photography. The project was sunset when the company rebranded to Meta.
