Microsoft Teams — In-Meeting Experiences
As a Senior Designer on Microsoft Teams, I shipped high-stakes meeting features under tight deadlines and real technical constraints. Across Breakout Rooms, Meeting Notifications, and Together Mode, I consistently faced the same challenge: the ideal solution wasn't technically feasible, and the feature needed to ship now. My role was to find the pragmatic path — designing experiences that delivered full user value within the limits of the platform.
