Andre Tacuyan

Product Designer

Mountain View, CA, USA
Hi, I'm Andre. I knew at a very young age that technology and design weren't going to be just passions, they'd be who I am. If I could describe the past few years in one word, I would say it was an evolution. Just like a Pokemon. I enjoy building beautiful products that connect people with one another. With a goal to make the world more open and connected, I'm working on simplifying productivity.

Dream big. Work hard. Stay humble.

Microsoft

User Experience Design Intern

During the summer of 2013, I worked at Microsoft on the design team for Microsoft Office for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. It was the first time I worked on a product that was used by billions of people. I had the opportunity to design and ship icons, layouts, and different iterations of future Microsoft Office renditions. My main role was to slice artwork and redline mockups from the designers and get them ready for development. This gave me the chance to collaborate and work closely with both designers and developers. I also recreated mockups, redesigned a website to have a better user experience, and designed different UI elements for Microsoft OneNote, Powerpoint, Word and Excel.
