Steve Frederickson
I make software to empower people.
Hi, I’m Steve! I make amazing software by setting a clear vision, cultivating collaboration, and working tirelessly to get there. Across multiple industries, I’ve helped teams solve the right problems for customers and users.
Lucy AI
I am currently serving as Chief Product Officer for Lucy AI. Lucy is an enterprise search platform that empowers people to discover and keep knowledge alive within large organizations.
In a recent interview, I talk about the opportunities we’ve pioneered using generative AI in Enterprise Search: Part 1 and Part 2.
Steve is a reader and a learner. He really spends the time thinking through the industry, Windows, user experience, and how to impact and delight customers.

Chronicle
I made Chronicle, a literature-media platform with hundreds of stories by authors around the world. Chronicle makes fiction accessible to a new audience in an easy-to-use app, so you can Sail the World without losing your place in line.
I’ve really enjoyed adding this minimalist & clean app into my daily routine […] I’ve finally started reading again!

Picture Frame Builder
I made Picture Frame Builder, an ecommerce website with the goal of putting your favorite memories on your wall. Ordering an entirely custom product online is not an easy task, so I invented an augmented-reality preview that works seamlessly with the ordering experience.
Steve is a rockstar PM.

Microsoft
Alongside an incredibly talented team, I overhauled the notifications UX for Windows 10. We unified the way apps talk to you—all the way back to Windows 95—into one notification center, streamlined the soundscape of Windows from nineteen sound events to just two, and worked with partner teams to make a modern Quick Settings interface so you could get back to what you were doing faster. And of course, it all works with touch, mouse, keyboard, and pen.
