Designs with Impact

Visual Designer

Microsoft Rewards Marketing Team, 2020-2025

My work included designing in multiple formats, creating engaging monthly member emails, promotional websites, product UI flyouts and co-branded marketing campaigns with partners like Xbox, Surface, Spotify, HBO and Paramount Pictures.

To improve production efficiency and stakeholder collaboration I introduced Figma. By sharing mockups and flows through Figma, we reduced approval cycles and enhanced consistency.

From Concept to Impact

To increase engagement for the rewards program, I focused on creating attractive visuals and optimized interactive experiences. My process began with researching trends and related projects to inspire new concepts, followed by drafting initial design strategies and creating wireframes and mockups for team feedback and approval. I ensured visual consistency across all channels by adhering to brand guidelines and implementing Microsoft's recommended storytelling styles. This approach improved first impressions, enhanced usability, and ultimately driving higher click-through rates and increased user engagement.
