Workplace Analytics — programs, analytics, and nudges

Bridge between Workplace Analytics and MyAnalytics via programs; multi‑year design leadership and systemization.

This was one of two sister programs that were my primary focus for 2.5 years at Microsoft. My work centered around integrating Workplace Analytics and MyAnalytics through the bridging component of programs, which tied the two products together. Additionally, I led a wide range of design changes, including improving data visualizations, refining navigation systems, and driving a visual design refresh.

As the de-facto design lead during a transitional period, I managed contractors and ensured their work aligned with the broader design system. My role encompassed wireframing, research, coding, content writing, visual design, and data visualization consulting—essentially handling all design-related needs for the team.

Starting with a small team, I led the design efforts through various team changes, becoming the de-facto design lead. My role evolved to manage multiple contractors and remote designers, culminating in onboarding a new manager and additional FTE designers. I ensured they were well-integrated and organized with the existing design files and systems.
