New Employee Orientation

Art Direction / Branding

My Role

I was responsible for gathering inspiration, sketching, design, and production. I also collaborated with other designs and oversaw multiple contractors in bringing my designs to life in 3D environments.

Background

This project reimagined the digital experience for Microsoft's New Employee Orientation during the pandemic. I designed universal abstract forms separate from language, location, or cultural identity. Each section uses color and motion to translate the intention behind the onboarding content. In total, NEO is formed by four parts: Taking care of you; Working together in a thriving culture; Empowering the world together; and A platform for your purpose. I assisted in directing a team of designers, motion designers, and 3D artists.
