Microsoft: Office Mobile Hub

Office Mobile Hub is a contextually aware (calendar, traffic, inbox, documents, people, etc.) assistant that is designed to make daily tasks simpler by providing digestible insights and quick actions throughout the day. It was a working prototype built initially for user testing and many of the features were later implemented throughout Microsoft Office.

Office Hub is an example of the type of work I’d been involved in at Microsoft as part of an internal incubation team tasked to explore and experiment with services and applications that imagine the future of productivity. I was tasked to lead the overall framework and design of the app and to design the search and inbox experience.
