HUMAN FACTORS
& USER EXPERIENCE IN HEALTH
M
I want to design a world that makes us healthier and brings us together.
​
I bring years of experience with analyzing systems and software from the perspective of cognitive psychology, anthropology, human-computer interaction, and systems design. I've recently added education in public health to inform more clinical user experiences. I use this background to understand users in their unique domain with their unique health challenges and what they want to accomplish. Then I work with partners or alone to design an easier way for them to reach their goals.
