Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSarah Barrett is an Information Architect with eight years of experience designing and governing large-scale content ecosystems, most notably leading the Microsoft Learn site experience for tens of millions of monthly users. She combines traditional information science training (MLIS) with enterprise data analysis and hands-on implementation, having designed durable content models and taxonomies that scaled a platform by 20x. As a director at Microsoft she drove cross-disciplinary strategy, rescued a multiyear rendering modernization project, and shipped global navigation and governance to measurably improve findability. She teaches IA and content strategy at the University of Washington and now advises at Factor, bringing a practitioner’s ethic to both academic and product environments. Not obvious from titles alone: she repeatedly moves projects from stalled or conceptual stages into production through a mix of governance, tactical fixes, and collaborative engineering.
