Meta quest

Ux writing and content design 

Following Meta's acquisition of Oculus, a critical challenge emerged: seamlessly integrating the Oculus brand with its associated VR headset and user base into Meta's content design system. The existing notification style, reliant on generic system alerts (e.g. some headlines literally read "Device"), was leaving users feeling overwhelmed and disengaged.

It was time to craft an experience worthy of the metaverse, something that would truly captivate—and convert—users.


Welcome to the Metaverse:
UX writing for the future of VR

I embarked on a data-driven journey to transform the notification experience from frustration to fascination. Recognizing the need for a more personalized and engaging approach, I employed the "Entice" Model, wielding data to craft personalized headlines that sparked curiosity and body copy that delivered real value – the kind that makes users grab their headsets and jump into the action. 

I conducted rigorous A/B testing comparing generic notifications with those developed using the "Entice" model, first using Figma to design and map the user experience. And then deploying to a subset of users.




The challenge:
A notification nightmare

This test was just the beginning. I used the findings to create comprehensive written content design guidelines for use across the org. Now, the entire team can craft user experiences for notifications that resonate and drive results. These guidelines serve as a valuable resource for teams, ensuring consistency, clarity, and user-centricity across all communication channels.

A lasting legacy:
