My Role

I collaborated directly with the client to understand requirements, then translated them into wireframes and interaction flows.

I created the high-fidelity UI designs and interactive prototypes, and used AI tools to explore copy, structure and interaction options faster during design.

I worked closely with developers during SharePoint implementation, reviewed responsive behavior across devices, and collaborated with QA during validation.

The Problem

Powerful AI, but no one trusted it enough to use.

The client wanted to bring generative AI into employees' everyday workflows. The challenge was not simply introducing an AI assistant, but making the experience understandable, useful and safe within an enterprise environment.

Trust

Users needed confidence in how AI could be used within their workplace.

Usability

Users needed clear, task-oriented ways to understand what the AI could help them accomplish.

Privacy

Enterprise users needed visibility and control around sensitive information and anonymization.

Making privacy and anonymization visible as part of the enterprise AI experience.

The Process

From client requirements to a working enterprise experience.

The project started with direct collaboration with the client to understand requirements, expected workflows and the capabilities needed within the enterprise digital workplace.

Key Design Challenge

Designing AI around real work

Rather than treating GenAI as a standalone chatbot, the experience was structured around specific workplace tasks and capabilities.

01Task-oriented AI

Give employees clear entry points for common tasks instead of requiring them to know how to prompt a generic AI system.

02Privacy by design

Make anonymization and data protection visible within the experience.

03Existing workflows

Bring AI capabilities into the existing SharePoint digital workplace rather than forcing users into a separate environment.

The Solution

A task-based GenAI toolkit built around real enterprise workflows.

The final experience brought multiple AI capabilities together within the enterprise digital workplace, with task-specific experiences designed around different employee needs.

Design Decision

Privacy was part of the experience, not an afterthought.

Anonymization controls were surfaced within the product so that privacy considerations were visible as part of the workflow.

Implementation

From high-fidelity design to SharePoint implementation

I collaborated closely with developers during implementation, helping translate the approved high-fidelity designs and interaction flows into the SharePoint environment.

During implementation, I clarified interaction behavior, reviewed visual consistency and supported the team in resolving design questions.

Validation

Responsive review and QA collaboration

Once the experience moved into implementation, I reviewed the interface across different devices to check responsive behavior and visual consistency.

QA handled functional validation, while I reviewed the implemented experience against the intended designs and interaction patterns and helped identify design inconsistencies.

The Outcome

Delivered a client-defined enterprise GenAI experience from requirements through implementation support.

The project progressed from client requirements and wireframes through high-fidelity UI and interaction design, developer collaboration, SharePoint implementation support, responsive review and QA collaboration.
