💼 Currently Area lead @ Business emerging technology group @Microsoft, focused on AI/Copilot, Front-line work solutions, and design systems while contemplating and lecturing about wicked problems around inclusive design+ethics within AI+tech.

I started my design journey 2006, and for the last 12 years, I've worked taking 0-day/incubation products to market, focused on new technology, core features, interaction design, and design systems. The last 6 years, I've been leading teams at the business-emerging-technology-group at Microsoft taking Copilot for business to market, developing the new Fluent+AI design system, taking Conversational AI (Copilot Studio) from incubation to market, and commercializing new technology into Microsoft's enterprise suite of products.

Before that I built products and experiences with Artefact Group, where I made sense of government data for USAFacts, designed LuminOS and Apps for MagicLeap, and worked on how we will use augmented reality in the future. I helped Microsoft OneNote launch on Surface/tablets focusing on inking and education and helped the visually impaired community use new technology to play football and navigate the cityscape. 

I love to talk about design and can be found on either LinkedIn or Twitter, or go old-school and hit me up on hello@andreaskleiner.com
