• Primarily working on the product design for an internal prototyping tool that allows various teams at Microsoft to explore new directions and ideas within a Windows context. I handle the IA diagrams, user flows, wireframes, animation prototypes, pixel perfect visual designs, and everything in between. Designed a 1-5 year roadmap of features for developers on the team to work with.• Designed the responsive website for the Windows Insider launch of Windows 11. https://insider.windows.com/en-us/insidewindows11The project was designed as a growing, modular system to accommodate the site evolving over 16 weeks.• Led design on the shopping experience within the Microsoft Bing and Start apps. Re-architected the main design elements to cater toward a shift from product browsing to a receipt scanning feature with gamified rewards.• Designed and released two Figma plugins. One for image tools, like algorithmic color sampling and background removal. Another for image asset delivery to our internal prototyping product.• Planned out the structure and process of an algorithm that would create dynamic image compositions based on keywords and a pre-defined asset catalog.

I led the design team's effort toward the development of new interfaces for mobile, web, and VR/AR. In addition to product design (including user testing, wireframing, and visual design) I helped to manage our team's various projects and ensure they were cohesive with our overall creative direction.We shipped approximately one newly customized app per month, while also designing new product features on a longer timeline. This required me to manage multiple projects simultaneously while ensuring key deliverable deadlines are met.

I designed the user experience and interfaces for virtual reality apps related to live sports consumption. LiveLike's VR product requires innovative interfaces to be designed since there is no established precedent for design in this new space. I utilize a process of user testing, wireframing, prototyping and high fidelity visual design to bring new ways of content interaction to life.Our applications have streamed dozens of live sports games, from NCAA Football matchups to the Super Bowl and every game of the FIFA World Cup. Each application requires design customization for brands, sponsors, and teams, as well as new features based on unique sets of live data and statistics.

At Ratio I had the opportunity to work on dozens of client applications and websites during my time. I lead the design of projects through initial ideation, wireframing, prototyping, and visual design. The projects required me to be in regular contact with clients to give updates, presentations, and make sure everything was on track with the goals being met. I got hands on experience working for the web, iOS, Android, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
