Frictionless surgical displays that enable medical professionals to perform high-risk surgery

The Work

Delivered 8+ top-priority projects in an accelerated 5 months

I quickly onboarded to 4 disease states to deliver seamless experiences for:

What I Learned

Although I worked on projects that won't be released for years to come, I've gained invaluable lessons and skills that can be released anytime

Complexity can be chic

I learned I can design these life-saving devices to be as user-friendly as Spotify and as visually appealing as top-tier consumer product apps.

Document the thinking with diagrams

Medical devices can take years to develop, test, and go to market. I made it a habit to detail the rationale behind my designs and meticulously organize my Figma files. I leaned into mind mapping to onboard future designers to projects.
