Product Designer with 8+ years of experience bridging the gap between design, technology, and business.

I focus on the "how" and "why" of a product, making sure it functions logically and solves real business problems. My work ranges from consumer gaming (Xbox) to complex enterprise tools like Microsoft Teams. Currently, I am focused on the Microsoft Viva Glint admin experience, simplifying how organizations manage their data and configurations.

## Work Experience
### Senior Product Designer @ Microsoft
Jan 2024 – Present
Microsoft Viva Glint - Admin Experience

### Designer 2 @ Microsoft
Jan 2021 – Jan 2024
For Microsoft Viva Glint, I focused on optimizing the administrator experience by creating a comprehensive user journey map that served as a shared framework for the wider team to identify gaps. I leveraged this map to facilitate deep discussions with internal stakeholders, uncovering key opportunities that directly led to multiple rounds of new design concepts and product explorations.

In the Microsoft Teams ecosystem, I played a pivotal role in expanding the Approvals app and core collaboration tools. I led the design and launch of the end-to-end eSign experience (integrating Adobe and DocuSign) and established the design foundation for sequential approvals and the Word add-on.

Additionally, I designed and improved the Tags Group experience and the creation of group chats with distribution lists—addressing key scenarios for vertical industries and empowering users to seamlessly manage and communicate with their teams in multiple ways.
