UX / UI Designer
Your morning starts with a discovery workshop at a hospital management company — conducting 5 contextual user interviews with ward nurses about their medication dispensing app's pain points, uncovering a critical task flow where most errors occur. Afternoons are spent synthesising research findings into an affinity map, sketching low-fidelity wireframes for a redesigned dispensing workflow in Figma, and presenting three design directions to the product team for a usability decision.
