Project Info

Windows Server Manager allows to view and manage server roles and make configuration changes. Information technology (IT) administrators can manage local and remote servers without requiring physical access to the servers or enabling Remote Desktop Protocol connections.

This release of Server Manager was a major re-design overhaul on bringing a modern feel, interaction and visual language to the product. The re-design of Server Manager was extremely well received by longtime customers and the media. I collaborated closely with a team of Designers, Researchers, PMs, and Devs to design best-in-class user experiences for IT Pros. One of my responsibilities was to develop a high fidelity WPF prototype that served as a tool to communicate ideas, conduct user studies and, more importantly it was used as a feasibility guideline for the product team.
