Let’s create something inspiring amidst the tangled world of digital health. Let’s make something that matters.

Whiteboard with sketches and text about user interface design, filtering options, data visualization, and features for applications. Includes diagrams, flowcharts, text boxes, and highlighted sections in various colors.

Building something great in healthcare is hard. Really hard. It takes focus, humility, empathy, and a deep appreciation for a complex ecosystem where almost everything can and will go wrong. I love working with companies who see this and still choose to do that hard thing – and care enough to make it right.

I bring you over a decade of experience working with start-ups and product teams building streamlined experiences in digital health. I've navigated the complex landscape of health care, leading projects for patients, providers, health systems, payors, and beyond.

With a unique blend of human-centered design and systems thinking, I collaborate with teams to deliver experiences that are useful, desirable, and commercially viable.

“Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context - a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan.”

Why we should work together

A Nimble Partnership

  • I can dynamically scale up and down our work and bring in outside collaborators from my network as needed

  • I have a diverse skill set and can quickly pivot to the most pressing problems for your business

  • I bring a deep domain expertise that lets me get up to speed quickly

Cost-Effective Outcomes

  • Avoid the expensive commitment of a senior hire but gain the benefit of an experienced thought partner and designer

  • Use only the most valuable fraction of my bandwidth to maximize impact and stay focused on what matters

  • We de-risk initiatives and build confidence in your pilots, MVPs, integrations, and roadmaps

Designed to Survive

  • Most of my career has been working with in-house teams – I’ve seen where innovation fails

  • There is no “throw it over the fence” moment, I work alongside your team and develop the knowledge and buy-in to see things through

  • I can translate big ideas into small experiments and pilots that validate the strategic direction.

My Services

  • Matrix chart showing a provider experience workflow. It includes icons for roles such as Provider, Clinic Staff, and Patient, as well as visual keys for points and emotions. The chart is divided into phases: Discovery, Provider Onboarding, Clinic Training, and Prescribing. Sections detail pain points, opportunities, and user-facing actions pertaining to each phase. Emphasis is on improving the provider's experience with Pear Therapeutics.

    Service + Experience Mapping

    What you get:
    A clear articulation of how your service offering connects into the broader care ecosystem, where workflows may break down, and where the greatest opportunities are to make an impact.

    What we do together:
    Take a holistic look at the experience for your users across the range of unique touchpoints. Faciltate interviews and collaborative sessions to generate visual maps and artifacts that capture the current journeys, ecosystem, pain points, and key opportunity areas.

  • Flowchart titled "Overview" detailing a process for discovery and access. Step 1 shows a person receiving a message about checking something out via word-of-mouth and social media. Step 2 highlights affordable pricing. Step 3 encourages learning about Somryst by downloading the app. Step 4 involves getting help from an in-app Patient NaviBot. Step 5 shows NaviBot making Somryst affordable. Step 6 depicts feeling connected with a peer group. Illustrations accompany each step.

    What you get:
    A compelling set of visual artifacts and narratives that inspire and align stakeholders around the most valuable outcomes for your business.

    What we do together:
    Help develop, visualize, and validate key strategic initiatives for the business. Collaborate with internal stakeholders to generate sacrificial concepts to test internally and externally. Develop storyboards, concept UIs, principles, and/or frameworks that inspire teams around a shared intent to inform roadmaps and near-term experimentation.

  • Dashboard displaying healthcare performance metrics, including projections for shared savings, performance pillars like annual wellness visits, and Medicare quality measures.

    An experienced hand shepherding a priority UX project through a human-centered design process with a well-validated, compelling, and launchable output.

    What we do together:
    Carry the project through foundational understanding and problem definition, concept testing, prototyping, usability, and UX/UI refinement. I can embed and collaborate with internal team members or pull in outside resources for additional support.

About Me

I grew up in a family of designers and artists. They shaped me to see the world with a discerning eye and believe in my ability to change it for the better. I have always been hands-on in my methods - be it building furniture, architectural models, or when prototyping experiences. The satisfaction of bringing something to life is my ultimate payoff.

You can see more about where I’ve worked and in what capacity here

When I’m not at work, I’m spending time with my wife and two young daughters (and our dog, Toni). We love adventure travel, live music, Cambridge restaurants, and hiking in the mountains.
