I design things that improve people’s lives and health. My strength is the translation of information into solutions. I am passionate about creating products, systems and programs that improve or simplify people’s lives. My definition of design is discovering and creating user-centered solutions to a problem/challenge/opportunity. I can design in multiple channels and the end result may be communications, systems, experiences, programs or products. Tell me the problem and let me help you discover, design and create the best solution. I am passionate about design and healthcare and my creativity ignites when I combine the two. I delve into seeing the full picture to correctly frame the problem and create an empathetic solution.
