About

Ali leads the Inclusive Design for Mental Health & Cognition v-team that has built the resources and tools needed to improve focus & wellbeing for our users in the product development lifecycle. She is also a product design lead for Time and Places in Outlook and a new product launching soon. With the great impact product makers have on behavior and our rapidly moving cycles, the v-team is infusing our own guidance in to Fluent and has built a Figma plugin filled with user voices, tips, and examples to help designers build mindfully at scale. She also helped test Copilot with users with conditions to help co-create product improvements. Previously battling the stigma behind mental health, it is an honor to be able to talk about and solve for these problems at scale.

Inclusive designInclusive design
Overview

After running a one month long case study of Outlook Copilot and users that have mental health conditions, we gathered product insights which lead to product iterations and created inclusive design guidance for ai assistants. Copilot helps users feel reassured, confident, and internalize success beyond just saving time improving mental health.
