UX Design at Microsoft Talk

  • Article

Hi Everyone! I'm giving a talk tomorrow at University of Waterloo Accelerator Centre. It's a joint event between Waterloo UX User Group and Infusion Angels Innovation Centre. I've organized my talk into three short stories to give you an overview of what's going on design-wise at Microsoft.

  1. Story of Learning: how Office UX Design team learnt from the past and created the Office 2007 Ribbon Design
  2. Story of Rethinking: rethink about the rich experience we can bring to the web, our story behind the Rich Web UX Platform: Silverlight
  3. Story of Vision: from Surface Computing to Natural User Interface, what is our design vision and how we are designing towards the vision

I'll also cover academic focused UX programs and UX design opportunities at Microsoft. I'm very excited to share these stories for the first time and talk to a mix audience of students, professors, and UX professionals to get different perspectives. If you are interested in attending, you can RSVP here.
