Curriculum Vitae

Google Health

• Senior Visual Designer
• Sep 2019–present
• health.google

My time at Google Health has been focused on the success of the Care Studio suite of products alongside other health-related initiatives. I’ve predominantly focused on defining a cohesive, safe and scalable visual language for our products, leading the design system projects for both mobile and desktop and being promoted in recognition of my work.

My attitude to design in healthcare is that of a function: the healthcare sector is not a place to be flashy or overly playful in the design of interfaces. A combination of UXR and leading the healthcare empathy team at DeepMind taught me about the reality of our users’ days when using digital tools. It’s been my mission to create interfaces that respect our users and deliver value transparently and effectively.

• Visual Design lead for multiple key projects, including carrying the mobile product from an early prototype to a successful UAT launch and the desktop product redesign to focus on usability and scalability
• Key focus areas include accessibility, data visualisation, scalability and clinical safety
• Aligned global cross-functional teams on a long-term approach to design, treading the line between short-term value and long-term success while prioritising our business needs
• Data visualisation specialist, collaborating with an engineering partner to build and launch a data visualisation framework bespoke to our needs, adopted by other teams facing similar issues. Consulted with teams across Alphabet to advise on accessibility in data visualisations
• Stepped up to support the UK Government’s COVID response effort in the chaotic weeks leading to the national lockdown
• Established and led diversity, equity and inclusion group for Health in London
• Won multiple awards for team contributions (see Education & Achievements)

DeepMind

• User Interface Designer
• Jan 2017–Sep 2019
• deepmind.com

I joined the DeepMind Health team soon after its formulation to work on the success of Streams. My time on the team saw my work span across research, discovery phases and visual design. Given the small scale of the team, I had the opportunity to contribute broadly across multiple roles.

• Visual Design lead for multiple flagship features and redesigns with work directly leading to improvement in all key metrics across the board including safety, engagement and stickiness
• Key focus areas include accessibility, data visualisation, scalability and clinical safety
• Established and led healthcare empathy group to engage the cross-functional team in UXR material and context-building exercises, reaching 90% engagement
• Established and led diversity, equity and inclusion group
• Represented our team externally in talks, workshops and interviews, audiences include NASA JPL, Future London Academy, Helix Centre and many more (see Speaking & Outreach)
• Led various elements of medical device certification process
• Art directed cover art submissions for Nature Medicine for featured DeepMind research papers
