I am a product designer. I've worked on twenty products across healthcare AI, clinical genomics, public health, ads, data, dev tools, and consumer identity. Mostly as sole designer, often at the 0-to-1 moment when a product is still an idea looking for a form. The work has reached from a rural clinic in KwaZulu-Natal to 750 million Yahoo users worldwide. Along the way: three patents filed. Grounded in a PhD in HCI.

I learn each domain quickly, partner with experts, and help turn complexity into products people can confidently use.

My work happens in immersive cycles: sometimes joining an expedition already underway; sometimes setting out into territory that has not yet been mapped. I find deep satisfaction in both.

identifeye HEALTH — retinal exam workflow

01 ·Healthcare AI ·Sole designer

identifeye HEALTH

An AI-assisted retinal exam that non-specialists can perform — with screen, voice, and hardware moving as one.

  • Sole software designer on an AI-enabled retinal imaging platform. Transitioned a complex workflow completed by ophthalmic specialists into a one-click simple flow.
  • Choreographed the exam's motion, voice, and hardware into a trustworthy rhythm — screen animations, voice prompts, and physical device movements timed together so operators and patients could relax into the flow.
  • Established and executed end-to-end usability strategy. Designed and ran approximately twenty rounds of iterative studies, culminating in two summative validation studies.

Results

Longitudinal testing over six to eight weeks demonstrated that healthcare providers with no prior ophthalmic training could consistently return to the device and successfully perform retinal imaging. Two summative validation studies completed.

Navify Mutation Profiler — genomics interpretation

02 ·Clinical Genomics ·Roche ·Sole designer

Navify Mutation Profiler

Designing for personalized medicine — a clinical genomics interpretation platform used by geneticists.

Sole designer–researcher across two major releases. Software-as-a-Medical-Device (SaMD) for clinical genomics interpretation.

Results

Reduced report generation time by up to 75%, validated in peer-reviewed publication. Two patents were filed based on this design work.

iThemba — public-health platform for sub-Saharan Africa

03 ·Public health ·Roche ·Sole designer

iThemba

Designing for dignity in chronic disease management across sub-Saharan Africa.

Sole product designer, leading the end-to-end design of the patient and clinician experience as the platform evolved from an early "scan a barcode, receive results on your phone" pilot into a broader public-health ecosystem.

Results

In a peer-reviewed field study, 97% of survey respondents wanted to continue using the app, and unsuppressed (high-priority) results were delivered 5× faster.
