Concept

Menopause Companion App

Somaesthetic design principles from my PhD → actual product. A digital companion that respects ambiguity instead of optimizing it away. Early stage.

details

Built: Stateful interruption-and-resume task model, new IA for context-preserving workflows, A/B testing platform (Claude Code), design system components across lab ops products.

Scientists were pulled mid-workflow for priority samples. The system had no concept of “resume.” Invisible in logs, obvious when you stand next to someone working.

You cannot find an interruption architecture problem from dashboards. You find it in the lab.

details

Built: Patient-controlled result delivery (not push — patients choose when to see genetic test results), educational context layers, complete interaction model and emotional pacing.

Patients didn’t want easier access. They wanted control over timing. Genetic testing anxiety means people need to choose when to receive life-changing info.

Somaesthetic design framework
PhD Dissertation · UC · 2020–2025 · 40-person diary study
127 apps evaluated. 40 women studied. Here’s what femtech gets wrong and what better looks like.

details

Built: Design principles for health tools that respect embodied experience. Concrete patterns for accommodating ambiguity. Systematic review + MARS evaluation + 40-person diary studies → framework that changes how I build everything.

The most clinically top-rated menopause apps were the least used. Women abandoned tools that optimized menopause. The gap between “evidence-based” and “evidence-felt” was the core finding.

Genomic data platform (VIVA)
Cincinnati Children’s · 2019–2021
NIH-funded clinical decision support for pediatric genomics — designing for the 30 seconds a clinician has during a patient encounter.

Live productDual-entry IA
details

Built: Dual-entry IA (patient-centric for MDs, dataset-centric for bioinformaticians), pipeline selection interface, full intake flow, personas, style guide, UX packet.

MDs thought in patients. Bioinformaticians thought in datasets. The upload flow assumed one model. I built two front doors into the same data.

Foster care health portal (IDENTITY)
CCHMC + Hamilton County · 2019–2020
Cross-agency health data for foster children — where the portal reflected bureaucracy, not user tasks.
Cross-agency IA · County-wide deployment
Cross-agency IACounty-wide
details

Built: Complete IA restructure — from agency org charts to child-needs navigation (health, legal, placement, education). New interface, 4 personas, card sort-validated structure.

The portal reflected bureaucracy, not user tasks. Foster children’s health data was split across organizational boundaries that meant nothing to social workers.

Building something in health and AI? Let's talk.
