About Me
I'm a researcher who ships products and a designer who publishes research. In healthcare, that combination is rare. It's also necessary.
At Natera, I lead UX for lab operations and enterprise tools, building a centralized research function that demonstrates measurable ROI. I balance strategic vision with tactical execution, moving from foundational research to shipped products. Beyond biotech, I advance women's health technology as a Dealflow Fellow at AthenaDAO, shaping research priorities and funding strategy that actually moves the field forward. Through my Substack “Women's Health, Computed,” I translate academic research into accessible analysis—from evaluating perimenopause wearables to mapping the femtech landscape—because understanding shouldn't require a PhD.
Healthcare technology fails people in predictable ways. I’ve spent 10 years studying those patterns.
AI should augment clinical judgment, not simulate it. The interaction design problem at the center of AI health right now is the handoff between algorithmic confidence and human decision-making. That handoff is almost always designed poorly.
Compliance and good UX are not opposites. Regulated environments constrain the solution space. They don’t constrain the quality of thinking.
The best health interfaces disappear. The worst ones cause harm. The difference is almost always a research decision that happened — or didn’t — before the first wireframe.
