Facebook design manager leaving to help lead angel fund for designers

Blumenfeld, who started working at Facebook in 2007, has been on sabbatical since December, so this doesn’t come as much of a surprise. However, the news comes shortly after a number of other high-level employees announced their departure, raising questions about how Facebook will evolve post-IPO.

After working on growth and platform, Blumenfeld managed the design communications team, which focuses on guiding users through changes and educating them about products.
