About
I’m a healthcare product and UX designer with a background in direct patient care. That experience gives me empathy, clarity, and respect for the complexity of real-world workflows.
Understanding Complex Systems
My 20+ years as a physical therapist have given me firsthand knowledge of healthcare barriers, workflows and pain points.
Designing with Empathy
I have deep insight into patient behavior, trust-building, and the nuances of provider-patient dynamics.
Adapting with Agility
I thrive in dynamic environments and quickly adapt to new teams and priorities. Working in patient care made me accepting of and responsive to change, a mindset that translates naturally to designing within Agile frameworks.
Leading with Clarity
I have motivated patients, supervised assistants, mentored student clinicians, and balanced operational priorities--experiences that give me confidence leading people and teams.
Translating Complexity
I am skilled in translating complex medical and operational information into clear, actionable insights for executives, multi-disciplinary teams, and laypeople.
Building Trust
I’ve led over 3,600 individual patients in more than 30,000 treatment sessions. I excel at building rapport with people of diverse worldviews and backgrounds.
