Microsoft

From January 2023 to June 2026, I worked in Microsoft’s Studio 8 design team, initially designing content products for Bing News and MSN, covering core experiences in news, finance, and video. As the AI era began in 2023, I participated in the design of several Microsoft AI products, including Copilot Content (News / Finance / Weather), Bing Chat, and the intelligent financial assistant Money Assistant.

Starting in 2024, I took full ownership of the MSN Partner Hub product design — Microsoft’s global content ecosystem platform serving partners such as CNN, BBC, and various mid- to small-sized MCNs. I led the design system for partner management, optimized the growth experience across the ecosystem, and facilitated the integration between Copilot and Partner Hub.

In the second half of 2025, building on my deep experience across both the B2B and consumer sides of Microsoft's content ecosystem, I initiated and drove the Copilot Podcast project — bringing podcast capabilities into Copilot. As the Copilot Podcast project lead and DRI (Directly Responsible Individual), I led a cross-functional team of 1 PM, 3 engineers, and several external contributors, reporting directly to the Copilot CVP. This role sharpened my skills in cross-team coordination, roadmap ownership, and end-to-end product leadership.

Beyond project leadership, I also supported high-pressure initiatives and contributed to the team’s brainstorms and design explorations.

In addition, I was a core member of the Studio 8 MarCom (Marketing Communications) team, responsible for:

• Internal and external brand communications and visual content for the Microsoft Design team;
• Visual design for annual events and team celebrations;
• Leading and executing the Studio 8 Rebranding Project.

I also contributed to the Studio 8 × Peking University joint course, exploring collaboration between design education and industry practice.

During my time at Microsoft, I actively used Vibe Coding tools to empower designers with greater autonomy in implementation, enabling independent project execution and advancing the vision of “Design as Productivity.”
