Outcome
The new look
In March 2022, Microsoft released the new policy management experience. One of the features in this project was later retired in 2021/2022. Yet, this release implemented the new user flow and the usability improvements I participated in designing.
Reflection
What I've learned
Design for short-term and long-term implementation
With my previous startup experience, I designed the most feasible version for MVP first and added or improved features upon requests. For this redesign project, I learned a different way of design: create a north star version that is the ideal design we (designer) plan for, and then discuss with the teams to create other versions for implementing short-term or mid-term.
Design with the design system
Although having experience building a design system for LoanSense, it is my first time working on projects with an established design system. I learned to design with the components we have and follow the detailed guidelines. Also, through familiarizing myself with the design system, I learned more about ways to document and manage the UI components.
