The marketplace has always been a powerful space for humans to come together, but that space is slowly giving way to digital shopping and doorstep delivery. I asked the question, “What does commerce really mean to us?” The answer I found led me to reimagine commerce through strategic platforms and hardware ecosystems with a distinctly humanist approach that engages locality, culture, and small business. Microsoft Marketplace is a digital commerce aggregator that leverages point-of-sale to connect people with everything from walk-in shops down the street to deliveries from across the world. A free-market platform for everyone.
