Nav 2.0

Early-stage prototype exploring next-generation navigation patterns for Copilot. Built in close partnership with Ankit Potdar, the work gave stakeholders a tangible system to evaluate — covering cross-surface navigation, information hierarchy, and system responsiveness — rather than just reacting to static designs.

1. led technical prototyping — translated conceptual UX directions into working navigation flows and interactive states
2. defined how navigation behaves across contexts: expansion, transitions, selection, and system feedback
3. partnered with Ankit to iterate quickly, keeping design intent and engineering feasibility in lockstep
4. shaped early patterns for modular navigation components, laying groundwork for more scalable systems thinking
5. packaged the prototype for stakeholder review in a way that drove clear, specific product conversations
