Facebook Snags Talent From Design Firm Hot Studio

Facebook announced Thursday it has made a talent deal, bringing in a number of designers from the San Francisco-based design firm Hot Studio. The “acqhire” brings over an undisclosed number of the team, and Facebook did not share the financial terms of the deal. “The transition will be careful and deliberate, occurring over the next few months,” Facebook said in a blog post. “When it’s finished, many of the talented individuals from Hot Studio will be embedded into our product design, communication design, research, engineering, and content strategy teams.”
