Experience

I’ve spent my career designing award-winning diagnostic and therapeutic devices, guiding teams through every phase of product development within regulated environments.

Currently, I lead industrial design, UX, and human factors at Inflammatix, where I’ve guided the TriVerity test system from early concept through FDA submission and clinical deployment. I’ve owned end-to-end human factors research, including formative and summative studies, protocol authorship, participant recruitment, IRB interface, and regulatory reporting. My efforts shaped the product’s design language, risk mitigation, and user experience—recognized with both Red Dot and UX Design Awards.

Before that, I directed human-centered industrial design at Ximedica, leading a team across multiple U.S. studios. I also helped guide award-winning programs in diagnostics and orthopedics, while mentoring designers and contributing to early-phase usability strategy and concept testing.

Earlier roles span a range of innovation consultancies and in-house teams, where I partnered with global medtech clients to create meaningful, manufacturable, and user-validated solutions. Notable projects include the Penumbra REAL Immersive System, FreeStyle Libre 2 iCGM, and numerous others recognized with Red Dot, MDEA, IDEA, Edison, R&D 100, and Core77 awards, among others.

Across all of these roles, I’ve remained committed to crafting simple, intuitive solutions to complex clinical and technical challenges—grounded in user research, advocating for the user while balancing business, technical, and regulatory demands.
