SENIOR PRODUCT DESIGNER

Technology is for everyone.
I design AI that proves it.

I build AI tools that speed up how people work — without asking them to learn something new. From AI tools to clinical systems — I work across every layer so the experience just works.

Selected work

AI Cell Detection Tool

Manual cell analysis takes researchers 3–5 hours per slide. We built the viewer to give that time back.
Led end-to-end design for an AI-assisted detection tool — replacing 4 fragmented scripts with one unified dark-theme viewer for life science researchers.

Activity Tracker Redesign

Scaled a activity tracker from 20 to 40+ activities — without breaking the racetrack model clinicians already trusted.
ed end-to-end UX for a clinical workflow redesign — mapping activity groups across multiple roles, exploring 8 structural concepts, and validating the solution via A/B testing with real users.

Device Monitoring Platform

Teams were missing critical alarms because the interface wasn't built to scan. We redesigned the signal so nothing gets missed.
Drove UX for a responsive IoT monitoring platform — designing alarm triage, device state visibility, and a reusable component system for shift handoffs.

Kitchen Thread

Kitchen teams lose hours daily asking "where's the recipe?" KitchenThread made that question disappear.
Solo designer on a 3-week concept — designed a mobile recipe and task manager with role-based access, usability tested with real chefs, iterated on 6 friction points.

LinkedIn Accessibility Fixes

Most mobile UIs ship with contrast and tap target issues nobody notices — until they do. I audited LinkedIn's job search screen and fixed them in 48 hours.
Self-initiated WCAG 2.1 audit — fixed contrast from 1.71:1 to 3.03:1, tap targets from 35px to 44px, and reflow issues across search, filter strip, and bottom bar.
