New Employee Orientation

Art Direction / Branding

Designing a welcoming digital first impression for Microsoft

I helped design and art direct the visual experience for Microsoft’s New Employee Orientation platform, supporting the onboarding of more than 10,000 employees each year.

I developed the core visual concepts, abstract illustration system, and key assets while collaborating with designers, motion artists, and 3D specialists. The experience combined brand design, motion, and digital storytelling to create a scalable platform that translated onboarding content into an engaging visual environment.
