Enhancing Patient Safety Through Better UX: Redesigning the Vitals View for Operative Nurses
PROBLEM: Nurses in outpatient surgery centers need a reliable, simple vitals recording system to make clinical decisions without compromising patient care.
CHALLENGE: Design a solution that improves how clinicians access and interpret vitals data. The information they needed was in multiple places, making it hard to enter it all and make decisions with.
Interoperability: Increasing Transparency
PROBLEM: The existing document labeling system made it difficult for healthcare providers to determine a document's contents without opening it—and opening it meant permanently adding it to the patient record.
CHALLENGE: Give clinicians visibility and control without disrupting established clinical workflows or requiring a complete system overhaul.
Looking For More Definition: What’s Considered To Be An “Event” To A Clinician?
PROBLEM: Clinicians think in terms of care events, but medical records are organized by documents—creating friction when context matters most. Users are forced to piece together context at critical moments of care.
CHALLENGE: Understand the mental model and uncover what clinicians are really looking for when they need information. How do they mentally organize patient information?
Streamlining the Workflow to Meet User Needs and Expectations: Surgical Documentation
PROBLEM: Physicians felt the surgical workflow wasn't built for them—tasks were out of order and their work was buried in nursing workflows.
CHALLENGE: Design the experience to give physicians a dedicated workspace that matched their clinical sequence.
Mobile App Design (iOS)
a2i is a social media platform for people who are conscious of mental health and wellness.
PROBLEM: The platform is best accessed on a desktop, which limits users from accessing it when on-the-go.
CHALLENGE: To deliver a mobile experience that is uniquely supportive and engaging to new and current a2i users.
Medium App concept (ios)
Medium is an inclusive publishing platform that allows users from anywhere and everywhere to showcase their best writing skills.
PROBLEM: Insufficient features to allow users to quickly access desired content.
CHALLENGE: Design value-add features to allow users to easily access targeted topics in a 2-week sprint.
E-commerce: site redesign concept (desktop)
Pets N’ Stuff is a family-owned pet store in Lakewood, Colorado.
PROBLEM: The website has limited functionality. Customers are not able to purchase products on their website.
CHALLENGE: To build an intuitive checkout process and redesign the site navigation as necessary in 2 weeks.
