Visual Studio has a long history of innovation. In 2025, I collaborated with talented designers and partners to refresh the product’s visual expression, including the app icon, splash screen, and the overall look and feel of communications across web, social media, and events. The goal was to create a cohesive, modern identity that honored Visual Studio’s legacy while engaging both new and longtime users.

The product and expression had little updates since 2022, which became an opportunity, as well as a challenge. The design approach aligns with Microsoft, and is wide and inclusive of developers of all levels of technical expertise.
