Healthcare workflows that people can actually use.

I design complex clinical and public-sector products, from the first conversation with clinicians to a launch that holds up. Recent work includes a Medicaid member portal for 40,000+ members and an in-clinic refill workflow that cut time-to-refill 70% across 2,800+ clinics.

Behind the screen

Outside of work, I love traveling and spending enough time somewhere to get a feel for everyday life. Closer to home, I’m learning piano and making time for figure drawing, two things that keep me curious and happily a beginner.
