Hi! I’m Bess, I’m a content designer based in the SF Bay Area, and I work on the design systems team at Facebook.

Before my tech career, I earned a PhD in comparative literature, researched rhetoric and ancient Greek philosophy, and taught first-year college writing. Content design lets me put those years of studying rhetorical theory and argumentation into practice.
