Microsoft Metro experience
Role: UX Intern
Upon completion of my Masters, I participated in an internship with Blink interactive. Our first step was to become experts in all things Windows 8 in the hopes of leveraging this knowledge with future work for the company. Tasked to learn, study, and review Microsoft’s (then new) operating system and design aesthetic that was releasing to market, we set out to design a Windows 8 application of an existing Blink client, Rhapsody music.
Through our research and teamwork, we went though the process of brainstorming, conducting interviews and focus groups, creating a paper prototype to gauge familiar user gestures. After gathering data, we created user stories, wireframes and visual design samples to present to the client at the end of the internship.
