## About

With over 13 years of experience in user\-centered design, I currently serve as Principal UI/UX Designer at athenahealth, where I focus on human\-in\-the\-loop design, AI\-SDLC integration, and systems thinking\. Collaborating closely with engineering and product teams, I deliver AI\-powered patient communication tools, run research workshops, and prioritize inclusivity and trauma\-informed design to ensure healthcare tools meet the needs of vulnerable and stressed users\. My mission is to create intuitive, high\-trust user interfaces that bridge the gap between complex AI systems and human usability\. Leveraging my expertise in user experience testing, AI product strategy, and AI for healthcare, I aim to scale responsible, AI\-native solutions that empower patients and healthcare providers alike\.
