OFFICE MOBILE PLAYBOOK
I am very fortunate to have worked during a period in Microsoft's growth when breaking free from first party platform constraints and proliferating the Office experience was paramount for the success of the business and fulfilling the needs of our users. There were immense organizational and engineering challenges at play. The mobile design team was able to lead by example, defining the experience framework, and driving clarity and efficiency into the process for which the broader team got sh*t done.
“To ensure Office is a holistic product, from client to mobile and across all platforms, we are following a set of principles which guide our experience.”
PRODUCT GUIDES
Being a champion for the various mobile ecosystems I helped inform teams of the best use of native controlling. Defining terminology, the application of color and brand elements in combination with establishing a common command architecture and use of chrome would serve as the Rosetta stone for achieving harmony across products and platforms.

Working design assets for each of the 3 platforms to help get the job started.
“Great experiences originate from delightful ecosystems. The cumulative expression of the Office brand is reflected in our product from the things we say to the experiences we create. It is the story we tell. It builds on the rich legacy of the Office client and blends it with the on-the-go, instantaneousness of mobility.”
