• Support the Design team efforts to educate a new generation of creative resources worldwide about the Fluent Design System, Inclusive and empathy methods. • Coordinating the content strategy engaging with content editors, designers and developers to improve the company vision ad message.If you are curious go and visit: https://www.microsoft.com/design/What is Fluent Design System?Fluent builds on the Metro design language introduced with Windows Phone. Metro was designed for touch devices in particular; with Fluent, Microsoft is aiming at devices ranging from those without any display at all, through phones, tablets, traditional PCs, to virtual and augmented reality systems. Fluent also marks a shift from a design primarily focused on consumption, to one that also incorporates content creation. This generally means that Fluent will have to scale to denser, more feature-rich interfaces than Metro ever did. (ArsTechnica May 15, 2017)
