E05 David Betz: Writing about Microsoft Design (interview)

Words Work at Microsoft Podcast, a podcast about about how Microsoft culture has evolved, starting with the way we talk

David Betz, Senior Writer on the Windows Content Experiences team, talks to us about his editorial work for Microsoft Design's Medium publications. Prior to Microsoft, David served as VP of Storytelling with UP Global, where they focused on building startup communities. Before that he spent 12 years on the agency side as Global Creative Director for the award-winning Lexus magazine program, and Creative Director at Story Worldwide. He also taught graphic design at Kent State University, California College of the Arts, and served as co-president of the AIGA Seattle Chapter. On the Words Work At Microsoft Podcast, we chat about how Microsoft culture has evolved starting with the way we talk. In each episode we interview someone within the Microsoft writing community, giving you an inside look at how we approach our work. And, hopefully, offering up a healthy dose of trips and tricks along the way. Special thanks to Sokolovsky Music for our funky background music: https://soundcloud.com/sokolovskymusic/funk-free-music
