Microsoft Word: Reimagined
We reimagined Microsoft Word by decluttering its interface, simplifying feature discovery, and integrating intent-based onboarding with intelligent AI: transforming writing into a clearer, faster, and more collaborative flow.

Challenge
Microsoft Word’s dense toolbars, inconsistent formatting logic, & low discoverability increased cognitive load. Users felt lost, relied on hidden shortcuts, and struggled to work efficiently without making formatting mistakes, dealing with inconsistencies.
Approach
We conducted research and synthesis to redesign Word’s core writing flow using intent-based toolbars, clearer hierarchy, and progressive disclosure; simplifying discovery while preserving advanced power-user functionality through smart defaults.
Result
The redesign significantly reduced time to find features, lowered formatting errors, and increased engagement. Users experienced clearer workflows, faster writing, and greater trust in formatting actions without sacrificing flexibility or control.
