Windows 10 Game Bar

Redesigned the Windows 10 Game Bar to align with Microsoft’s Fluent Design System, modernizing its look.

I was a visual designer on the Windows 10 Game Bar, a built-in tool that lets gamers capture, record, and stream gameplay. My work focused on redesigning the experience to align with Microsoft’s Fluent Design System, modernizing the interface while improving usability for snapshots, recording, and streaming.

  • Applied Fluent design principles—light, depth, and material—to modernize UI components.
  • Created high-fidelity mocks and visual assets that informed implementation and influenced the product’s updated aesthetic direction.
