About
In medtech the workflows are unforgiving. I design the structure beneath complex clinical products so they're usable, scalable, and safe.
I've spent 11 years in design, seven of them building platforms for clinical users in regulated medtech. My biggest value isn't making screens look good, though they will. It's the information architecture, workflows, task flows, and design systems that make a product intuitive, technically sound, scalable, and above all lower-risk. My work has repeatedly stood up to FDA human factors validation.
Where my value lives
Information architecture
Structuring complex clinical information so users can find it, trust it, and act on it. It's the foundation everything else stands on.
Workflow & task flows
Mapping how the work actually happens and designing to fit it: cutting steps, matching clinical reality, and removing the friction that breeds error.
Risk mitigation by design
Designing so mistakes are hard to make, easy to catch, and easy to recover from. Work of mine has passed FDA human factors validation with zero task errors.
Scalability & design systems
Patterns and systems that stay coherent across protocols, product families, and teams, and that meet the constraints of a real build.
Visual & UI craft
Clean, accessible, polished interfaces that build trust and make complex clinical tools feel effortless.
Track record
- MatchX, transplant analytics. Histocompatibility labs had always worked in fragments: results, history, and crossmatch scattered across tools. The platform consolidates a patient's full immunogenetic picture in one place for the first time. FDA-approved, releasing globally in 2026.
- AutoElite Console, cardiovascular intervention. A touchscreen interface for a surgical thrombectomy device, where a confusing label or a missed alert isn't a UX problem, it's a patient-safety issue. Built for clarity under that pressure, the interface design is the subject of a US patent application, and the device received FDA PMA in 2025.
- Next Gen Blood Bank. A redesigned end-to-end blood-banking workflow that automates manual handoffs, reduces error risk, and builds confidence across every role in the transfusion lab; preparing for summative usability validation.
- Regulated neurostimulation platform. A 0-to-1 iOS therapy platform, with a multi-user service mapped across patients, reps, and physicians through the trial journey.
Services
A working call where you walk me through your product, and I share first impressions and point to where design effort will pay off most.
- Up to two hours of live briefing and product demo
- A follow-up summary email with first impressions, initial observations, and a recommendation on where to start
A structured review of your product's architecture, workflows, and interface, covering the current state and what it will take to scale.
- Review of your core flows, structure, and screens
- Findings prioritized by impact, each with a concrete recommendation
- Light visual examples to illustrate recommendations as needed
- A readout call
Larger design engagements, scoped to what you need and estimated up front, then billed hourly.
- Workflow & information architecture definition. How the product should work: the workflows, task flows, and information architecture that set product direction before you build.
- Scalable design system starter kit. A foundational, AI-ready system: tokenized styles and named, documented components your team and AI tools can build from.
- Screen layout design. The actual screens and layouts, scaled to complexity, from standard views to constrained embedded displays.
- Prototyping. Interactive prototypes, from simple click-throughs to animated, component-driven flows.
Design-side support for your usability studies. I partner with your research and HF team rather than run the study.
- Help define the design questions the study should answer
- Attend and observe sessions
- Translate what happens into design insights and action items
Continued design partnership once you're moving and want design handled by someone who already has the context.
Pricing
Two simple rates, so early companies can start small and scale as they raise.
The intro call is free. Everything else is billed hourly against an estimated hour range we agree up front. Anything beyond the estimate is agreed in writing before I proceed.
Engagement agreement
A short agreement confirms scope, rate, and terms before work begins. This is the template; the highlighted fields are customized per project.
- Client
- [Company / founder name]
- Engagement
- [e.g. Design & Usability Review of the core clinical workflow]
- Rate
- [$75 / $150] per hour
- Estimated hours
- [e.g. 6 to 12 hours]
- Deliverables
- [e.g. prioritized findings + recommendations, readout call]
- Timeline
- [e.g. within 2 weeks of start]
- Invoicing
- [e.g. on delivery, due within 15 days]
- Scope & overage. Work is billed hourly against the estimate above. Anything beyond the estimated range is agreed in writing before I proceed.
- Revisions. Includes revisions within the agreed scope and brief. Changes that expand the scope or brief are estimated and agreed separately.
- Confidentiality. Both parties keep shared information confidential; a separate NDA governs where one is in place.
- Ownership. Final work product transfers to the client upon full payment.
- Termination. Either party may end the engagement with written notice; work completed to date is billed.
