Microsoft Places
While I was leading the Outlook Accelerator design team, we were asked to create an experience that would help our customers coordinate where their work happens. The goal was to introduce a new product into Microsoft’s portfolio that would solve a lot of the pain points companies were facing at the tail-end of the pandemic. This was a rare opportunity to help define, design, and deliver a truly zero-to-one product at a large tech company. The end result has been a successful product that has shipped to customers and continues to evolve.
