Microsoft Mesh

At Microsoft Mixed Reality, I designed and prototyped a new paradigm for privacy and safety in social mixed reality experiences, enabling the team to quickly test key design ideas with users. It contributed to the design framework for Microsoft Mesh, Microsoft's mixed reality platform.


I collaborated closely with design research to capture the end-to-end research and design process . We validated design concepts through user scenario studies, forming a design-research feedback loop that lays the foundation for the design phase. Final deliverables include research insights, guiding principles, storyboards, user flows, lo-fi designs and interactive Unity prototypes.

Elevate your team's experiences with features like avatars and spatial audio, which go beyond the limitations of the physical world by making interactions feel more engaging, connected, and natural.
