Product Designer

I turn complex problems intoproducts people actually use.

Started in medical device design -- physical products, clinical environments, high stakes, tight constraints. Over time the problems shifted from what it looks like to how it works, pulling the work deeper into software: interaction design, UX research, surgical planning interfaces, VR clinical training. Fourteen years across healthcare, automotive, and emerging technology.

Same human-centered process, increasingly complex systems. Physical constraints became technical ones. The user wasn't just holding the product anymore -- they were inside it.

I can run a design sprint with engineers and understand what's buildable, conduct contextual research with clinicians and understand what's usable, and design something that satisfies both.
