01System
The bill starts before the bill
Lead product designer
Amazon One Medical · 2024–25

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

In this case:
Chose the payment flow that kept more people in care Insurance checked before the visit, shown as pending, never “unknown” Staff balance prep cut from 5+ minutes to about 2

Chart prep in seconds, not minutes
Lead product designer
Amazon One Medical · 2025

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

In this case:
Fast enough for a 30-second video visit, careful enough to trust The AI suggests topics, never orders; clinicians stay in control Clinicians said prep dropped from about ten minutes to two

Protecting patient data without slowing care
Lead product designer
Amazon One Medical · 2024–25

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

In this case:
Permissions, emergency access and audit trails at scale A reason recorded for every restricted-chart access Chart links shared only with the right people

When can AI act on its own?
Lead product designer
Amazon One Medical · 2025

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

In this case:
Three modes, set by how sure the match is Every automatic action explained and reversible ≈17 clinician hours returned in one measured week

How I work
01/ 04

I listen

Research, behavioral data, business goals and what frontline teams already know. AI helps sort the inputs; people check the patterns.

I map

Workflows, permissions and edge cases before screens. For AI, I design the harness: what it can see, what it can do alone, where a person signs off, and how it fails safely.

I build

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

I measure

Usability, accessibility, trust and operational impact. Launch with Product, Engineering and Data, then let the metrics and the humans using it say what is next.

Principles
01

Start with the problem nobody owns.

The best work is often unassigned.

02

Trust beats automation.

AI earns its place when people can check it and stay in control.

03

Test, don’t argue.

When a team disagrees, I turn opinions into experiments.

04

Design for the person under the most pressure.

If it works for them, it works for everyone.

Kind words
