As part of the envisioning team in Windows, I designed and engineered ideas for the future of content experiences. Many of these concepts were far-reaching and called for new techniques and the latest technologies. The final designs and prototypes acted as tangible evidence that the future was within reach and acted as a north star for the design group's continuing work.

I designed common features and built prototypes of new ideas for Bing/MSN apps, the new MSN.com, and other projects. Many of the apps I've contributed to come pre-installed on the latest Windows devices including desktops, tablets, and phones, and the new MSN is live at http://msn.com.
