Highlights

Overview

  1. Designed across three very different contexts, a medical condition, a connected device, and automated skin analysis, with one consistent focus: helping people build healthy daily habits.

What I designed

  1. Designed a companion app for asthma patients that built inhaler use into daily routines with timely reminders, helping patients stay on track with their treatment.
  2. Designed condition and treatment tracking for the asthma app, giving patients a clearer view of how well they were managing their asthma over time.
  3. Partnered with Sensodyne to design a companion app for its smart electric toothbrushes, turning data from the connected brush into feedback that helped users build better brushing habits.
  4. Partnered with Physiogel to design an app that automatically analyzed microscopic photos of users’ skin and compared results over time, so they could see how their skincare routine was working.

How I worked

  1. Led UX and UI within GSK’s innovation team, owning digital health products end to end, from first concept through development support and pilot launch.
  2. Supported engineering through development and into pilots, keeping each app true to the design and resolving UX questions as they came up.
