My Journey in Design

I began my career at Microsoft in the summer of 2013 as an intern on the Skype/Lync team. The following year, I joined full-time as a designer on the Office Shared Design team.

Over the next six years, I worked on a horizontal design team responsible for visual, motion, and UX design across multiple platforms, including Win32, UWP, Windows Phone, Android (phone/tablet), iOS, and web. Our team played a key role in four major visual language and design system updates and controls across the Microsoft ecosystem.

My time at Microsoft evolved through three key chapters:

Motion Design Focus – Contributed as part of a large shared design team, refining motion principles across platforms.

‍-Motion Design Focus – Contributed as part of a large shared design team, refining motion principles across platforms.

- Shared Visual & Motion Team – As the team expanded, I transitioned into UX design, focusing on cohesive user experiences.

- Office.com & Mixed Reality – In my final chapter, I worked on Office.com and led initial explorations into mixed reality for Office.

This journey shaped my expertise in design systems, motion language, and multi-platform UX, setting the foundation for my work today.
