I’m a human-centered design advocate with a developed talent for bringing order and clarity to messy, complicated or ambiguous things.
Marcela Baiocchi, currently Product Designer@Microsoft
👋 Hi,
I’m a Product Designer at Microsoft, currently working for Copilot and Pages and designing third-party experiences in Office alongside Copilot. Previously at Meta, I led the redesign of People Portal, the primary HR information hub for employees. I also contributed in shaping the concept, vision, and navigational framework for Meta’s Integrated Employee Experience, unifying multiple internal tools into a coherent and simple experience.
My expertise lies in UX design, data visualization and information architecture (I’m a trained librarian with a doctorate in Information Sciences). I specialize in enterprise products—CMS, GIS, analytics tools, search engines, and content-rich platforms, owning the end-to-end design process and crafting simple, scalable solutions that drive business success and delight users.

“Marcela was deeply engaged in all research work related to Integrated Employee Experience (IEX). She took extremely detailed notes and organized feedback from research participants in meaningful ways. I'm first and foremost impressed by her empathy with our employees. What's more, she has always been empathetic with researchers, showing mutual trust and respect, and always ready to jump in with answers or insights.”

"I truly enjoy working with Marcela and have so much appreciation for her friendly demeanor and IA expertise! Through a series of brainstorming sessions, we were able to completely reorganize a huge amount of information in a logical way. I love that Marcela is a great listener and is receptive to feedback, but she also challenges her partners if something doesn't make sense. She relies heavily on research to guide her decisions."
