Windows for You

Concepting a Windows OS for music producers at Microsoft

Windows for You

In the summer of 2018 I interned at Microsoft as a UX Design Intern on the Windows Product Direction team. My prompt for my summer project was to "envision a personalized and artificially intelligent Windows of the future."

Below you can view my deck that I worked on over the span of 3 months from initial research to user research & interviews, through to design, user testing & animating!

Setting My Project Goal

The first question I asked myself was why personalization, in order to validate that a personalized Windows would actually be something beneficial for both the user and for windows.

I took a look at windows today and quickly noticed that the current windows assumes that one size fits all.

Personalization Spectrum

NikeID

This product lead to an 18 percent revenue increase in DTC sales in 2017, however human customized experiences are often limited to a certain niche who are willing to put in the work - not everyone wants to take the time to customize their own shoes, which is where assistance from smart technology comes in handy.

Netflix

75 percent of their views come from their great personalized recommendations, which goes to show that people really like to use this feature and are lured in to come back for more, but what if netflix could take it a step further and know in advance what show their user wants to watch.

Nest

It is providing it's consumers with personalized comfort, security and control and has Generated $726 Million In Revenue last year.
