Impact

As the Design System lead and Initiative Strategist, I partnered with the Initiative Owner to consolidate and rebuild multiple one-off design systems into a single, modernized design system with key patterns and interaction standardization to pay down over 30+ years of technical and design debt.

I partnered with teams across Clinical, RevenueCycle, and Consumer products to reimagine their current state experiences, driving alignment to the OCS platform experience while integrating seamless cross-tool workflows.
