Driving Innovation in Healthcare through Strategic Design

 

People, process, impact

I work at the intersection of healthcare and design, leading with curiosity and digging deep into human behaviors, motivations, and barriers.

I specialize in navigating the complexities of healthcare workflows and uncovering where digital tools can meaningfully improve both clinician and patient experiences.

 

Understanding challenges to explore what’s possible

With a background in user research, service design, and healthcare innovation, I’ve spent years collaborating with cross-functional teams— clinicians, technologists, analysts, and patients— to reimagine care access and delivery.

I translate ambiguity into clarity by aligning real-world insights with strategic design opportunities.

 

What I do:

UX Research and Human-Centered Insights

  • Contextual inquiries, interviews, and ethnographic studies

  • Mixed-methods research

  • Insight synthesis and journey mapping to surface pain points and patterns

  • Research and study design in regulated environments

Workflow and Systems Design

  • Mapping current-state workflows and information ecosystems

  • Identifying inefficiencies, redundancies, and unmet needs

  • Co-design workshops with multi-disciplinary stakeholders

  • Creating future-state workflows that integrate digital solutions

Strategic Opportunity Development

  • Identifying high-leverage areas for innovation

  • Translating insights into concepts, prototypes, and implementation roadmaps

  • Collaborating with product teams to scope and prioritize features

  • Supporting change management and adoption planning

 

Some topics I’ve worked on:

Durable medical equipment digital ordering workflow innovation

Telehealth and remote therapeutic monitoring opportunities

Patient healthcare portal experience design

Patient and provider risk assessment and prior authorization experience

and more

 

Insights to opportunities

I start by listening and learning. Whether it’s shadowing physical therapists as they navigate mixed-setting rehab care or interviewing health IT leaders, I immerse myself in the environments and mindsets of those I design for. From there, I map systems, uncover constraints, and find the connection between unmet needs and viable solutions.
