Microsoft
Visual Designer 2 (Contracted by Aquent)
Sept 2019 - June 2020
These are some various snapshots of process & projects over my time at Microsoft.
I was placed in the EPIC Design Division working horizontally across multiple teams. I also developed presentations for the CVP of Design with a senior communications manager.
For most of this work, I was the one pushing concepts through to PMs, stakeholders, and developers on my own.
The leadership team designated me as “the design studio of one”. I highly enjoyed seeing the creative process through every facet of making a finished product.

For this video I created the poster assets that you can see in the background. Along with the mock site for Squash & Quinoa recipe. The deadline was within a week and I had plenty of time to go through multiple iterations. Also cool to see work posted on a official channel of Microsoft.

After being handed off these illustrations, I was tasked with animating them for website viewing. This was my first time working with passed off assets, the Family team was pretty pleased with them. I also learned a lot about easing + exporting in Lottie.

I also developed presentation assets for Albert Shum, the CVP of design.
He really enjoyed this personal, napkin sketch feel. I was able to quickly sketch out concepts he had in his head and convey them for his presenations. My first week there I was tasked with creating illustrations for his talk in Japan. Pretty wild.

Working with various teams allowed me a look into how expansive Microsoft is.

Below are some Logos & Branding Assets I developed over the course of my time there. These do not include the process components

I also created various books for the team to document their work and also develop a visually pleasing way of relating potentially dry information. Sadly I cannot share the content but can show my
illustrations.
Tasked with these large projects, I was able to time manage and make progress on longer term goals, while still handling day to day asks.
