During my time with Visual Studios Online, I helped redesign and create new user experiences and interfaces for both current and future development.







EXPLORATION


When a project is delivered for work, I begin by looking at the problem and explore options and tools to help build a creative solution. Below is an example of the explorations I did for identifying states of projects within the productivity tracking system of the product.










DEVELOPMENT OF USER EXPERIENCE


By understanding the problem, I begin applying solutions and ideas to form functional experiences and begin visual explorations. At this stage, I also propose better solutions or updates to existing assets.










GUIDE DEVELOPMENT


Once the experience and design is narrowed down, I create resources for development and production of the new product asset. In addition, I stay actively involved in the agile design process for quick turn around bug fixes.










STORYBOARD


To wrap up my duration with the team, I worked with user experience designers to create storyboards of the live projects for upper management presentations.
