I worked in a team of Sr. PM, Engineers, an Designers. Working with a cross-functional team was a great advantage in terms of getting quick feedback from the product team and stakeholder, it helped things move quickly and create impactful designs.

In this card framework, there are 2 categories of cards that I'm refering to: Adaptive cards and templated cards.

Adaptive card is an open card exchange format that allows developers to describe content as a simple JSON. Templated cards include hero, thumbnail, list, carousel, connector and digest card, of which designs are already determined in the system. While templated cards are convenient, adaptive cards is a lot more powerful and we recommend our partners to make the most out of adaptive cards. More information is available on the official adaptive cards website.

I updated adaptive cards visual system to align with current Teams visual style, including border width, padding, colors, card width, etc. With this system, all colors are accessible at 4.5:1 contrast ratio. I alsomade small visual tweaks for big improvements, such as in the card length below. A card of 464px length will work perfectly for many grid systems.

I closely followed the existing core design principles:

I unified 6 templated cards so that they align to the adaptive card visual language. Again, the goal is for users to experience the same look and feel across all card types.

Before this project, there was no official visual system for mobile cards. The current mobile cards are tight with clunky spacing and patterns. I worked with the mobile design team to solidify the design system for these cards on iOS and android, while leaning towards native mobile experience.

Since cards usually display rich information, I talked to the mobile designer and engineer to expand the width of the bubble chat just for cards.
