About this event

In product design, we often focus on the end user. But in enterprise products, there is another user who holds enormous power the admin.

In this session, Alivia Chaudhuri will share insights from her experience designing enterprise products at Microsoft, highlighting how designing for administrators, complex systems, and data-driven environments requires a very different approach compared to traditional consumer UX.

Through real-world lessons from enterprise UX, Alivia will explore how designers can manage scale, complexity, and data visualization, while also learning how to communicate design decisions effectively through storytelling.

Whether you're a student, aspiring designer, or experienced product designer, this session will help you understand the often-overlooked users who shape enterprise products and business decisions.

The session will also include a live Q&A, giving attendees the opportunity to ask questions and gain practical insights from real industry experience.
