Previous co-founder, specialized in custom tools + solutions inside the health and wellness space.
What I'm looking for
My current role utilizes UX and behavior design to enhance patient and HCP support programs for major pharmaceutical brands. My role involves a wide range spanning from strategic concept development to tactical execution all in collaboration with multidisciplinary teams.
Previously, I served as a product and UX/UI Designer for various early-stage startups, where I wore multiple design hats to address their unique needs. My experience includes creating gamified productivity tools for individuals with ADHD, and successfully launching an iOS flight tracking app, “Flying”, which was featured by Apple.
My roots are on the visual side with experience in print, digital and motion, but the work I have always been excited about are my interactive projects. This led me to complete a Master’s program at CIID in Denmark in 2012. Since then I’ve continued in product design, user research, and entrepreneurship.
I’ve done a deep dive into habits & routines, and approach product design with an understanding of how apps, tools, and services fit into a user’s daily life.
