Hive Alumni Career Story

Emma Sheridan ’21 is a product manager at Microsoft building digital experiences for commercial customers to manage their Microsoft 365 subscriptions through the admin center.

When asked “how did Pomona prepare you”, Emma answered:

“The foundational design thinking skills that I learned in HCD at The Hive continue to bear fruit in my career. As a product manager, I lean deeply on design thinking to understand and design for our customers as well as bring the team together through activities meant to spark creative confidence and challenge the status quo. The project- and team-based course structure of HCD provided opportunities to work with diverse, empowered teams composed of students from all 5Cs on a range of design challenges that is not unlike my work today as a product manager which requires collaborating across multiple disciplines including design, content, engineering, business planning and more.”
