About Connie Huang

Product Designer at Microsoft

Hi ADPList, I'm a Product Designer at Microsoft Teams, creating the latest meeting experiences to help users collaborate more effectively. Coming from a non-traditional tech background, I previously worked as a consultant in New York and at a design agency in Vancouver. These experiences not only shaped my professional skills today but also helped me recognize the importance of learning from others with similar paths.

Through ADPList, I met many amazing designers and benefited from the experience of those who came before me. Since then, I've given back to the design community and had 8+ sessions speaking to upcoming designers and sharing my journey with them. My hope is to formally spend more time guiding others and forging lasting relationships in the design community. Topics I'm passionate about include career growth, women in tech, sustainability and equity in tech. Looking forward to meeting you!
