Experience

I've spent my career designing award-winning products across medical devices, surgical systems, consumer electronics, and emerging technology — guiding teams through every phase of development, from early concept through launch.

Currently, I work independently as a design consultant, partnering with early-stage companies on industrial design, human factors, and UX across medical device and digital health programs — including work spanning diabetes management, vascular intervention, brain SEEG monitoring, and in-vitro diagnostics.

Most recently, I led industrial design, UX, and human factors at Inflammatix, where I guided the TriVerity test system from early concept through FDA submission and commercial launch. I owned end-to-end human factors research, including formative and summative studies, protocol authorship, participant recruitment, and regulatory reporting. My work 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 delivered strategic design programs for global medtech clients including Arthrex, Abbott, and AcelRx, while mentoring designers, building career frameworks, and advocating for design excellence within engineering-led organizations.

Earlier roles span innovation consultancies and enterprise medtech clients — including Medtronic, Abbott Vascular, Abbott Diabetes Care, Johnson & Johnson (Acclarent), and WL Gore — across surgical, vascular, diagnostic, and therapeutic categories. 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.

Across all of these roles, I've remained committed to crafting simple, intuitive solutions to complex technical challenges — grounded in user research, and balancing design excellence with real-world business and engineering constraints.
