  • Joined Clinical AI at Amazon One Medical when it had no designer, wrote the UX framework later workflows were built on, led UX for the first workflow where the AI acted on its own, and designed the AI pilot that rolled out to all clinicians.

When can AI act on its own?
Senior Product Designer, leading at Staff scope
Amazon One Medical · 2025

One in ten renewal requests was a duplicate that clinicians sorted by hand. I led UX for the first time Clinical AI acted on its own: automate, assist or escalate, based on how sure it is.

In this case:
Three modes, set by how sure the match is Every automatic action explained and reversible

02AI for clinicians
Chart prep clinicians can check
Senior Product Designer, leading at Staff scope
Amazon One Medical · 2025

Clinicians spent about ten minutes reading charts before each visit. I designed AI summaries they could verify and act on before a visit starts.

In this case:
Key points link back to their source in the chart The AI suggests topics, never orders; clinicians stay in control

03Access and audit
Protecting patient data without slowing care
Senior Product Designer, leading at Staff scope
Amazon One Medical · 2024–25

Sensitive records needed strict access rules that never got in the way of urgent care. I led the role audit and designed how staff request access, get approval and leave an audit trail.

In this case:
Emergency access with a recorded reason, a time limit and review Chart links shared only with the right people

04Billing systems
The bill starts before the bill
Senior Product Designer, leading at Staff scope
Amazon One Medical · 2024–25

Members were surprised by bills after a visit. I connected booking, insurance, payment and staff tools into one system, so people knew before a visit whether it was billed and what they’d likely owe.

In this case:
Required collected more. Optional kept more people in care. I recommended optional. Insurance checked before the visit, shown as pending, never “unknown”

How I work
01

Start with the problem nobody owns.

I map the workflow, permissions and edge cases before screens. The best work is often unassigned.

Automation has to earn trust.

I design for the person under the most pressure. AI gets more freedom only when they can check its work and take back control.

Test, don’t argue.

When a team disagrees, I turn opinions into experiments, then let the metrics and the people using it say what’s next.

Build the real thing.

I move between Figma and working prototypes in Claude Design, Claude Code, Magic Patterns and v0, so teams test real software, not static mocks.

Kind words
