Welcome to my corner of the internet 👋🏾 I’m glad you’re here.

My name is Aleenah Ansari (she/her), and I’m equal parts storyteller, creative problem solver, and journalist at heart rooted in the stories of people behind products, businesses, and places. As a writer and content strategist, I cover travel in the Pacific Northwest and beyond, representation in media, and entrepreneurship for The Seattle Times, Insider, Joysauce, and more. I strive to highlight the non-linear journeys of business owners, authors, and creatives, lift as I climb, and tell the stories I needed when I was younger.

I’ve supported product marketing and adoption, customer storytelling, and video production for Salesforce and Microsoft with a focus on Microsoft Edge browser and generative AI tools like Copilot and Agentforce. I’ve created everything from customer and field enablement materials like demo videos, implementation guides, and one pagers to videos highlighting the Microsoft experts who build, deploy, and maintain Microsoft technology.

Career and life highlights include giving a TEDx talk about channeling jealousy as a tool for self-reflection, trekking to Everest Base Camp, hosting webinars on storytelling and personal branding, writing mural walks and author Q&As for The Seattle Times, highlighting local authors in print and online for The Seattle Times, and being recognized as a 425 Business 30 under 30 honoree and 2021 ADCOLOR FUTURE.

Inclusive by design: Creating products for Microsoft customers with different learning styles

Everyone has different learning preferences: some people may want to listen to lecture, but others will want to jump in and learn by doing. As a UX writing intern, I was asked to bridge this gap by creating a guide for researchers and designers who were designing Microsoft products for customers with a range of learning styles.
