Building the foundation powering the future of diabetes care.
SUMMARY
At Tandem, I contributed to mission-critical projects in an FDA-regulated environment by building a scalable design system, creating high-fidelity prototypes for human factors testing, and developing future-facing product concepts.
TAKEAWAY
My core value is reliability. I am the designer you trust to give honest feedback to deliver pixel perfect work and to eagerly tackle any challenge. I learned that consistent precision and dependability are not just skills but the foundation for building trust and delivering immense value to any team.

TIMELINE
3 Months (Summer 2025)
What I Did
Built a Foundation with Atomic Design
Transformed ad-hoc workflows into a standardized, scalable design system using Atomic Design principles, bringing structure and cohesion to a high-velocity team.
Key Takeaways: Built Scalable Foundations: Developed slot-based components and reusable assets for maximum flexibility. Ensured Long-Term Stability: Established practices for easy maintenance and adaptation of future features
Rapid Prototyping
Developed high-fidelity, interactive prototypes that were integral to formative human factors testing and the FDA submission package. Key Takeaways:Mastered Regulated Design: Partnered closely with Human Factors to operate within a rigorous testing framework, ensuring all prototype interactions were fully documented to meet strict regulatory submission requirements.Championed Prototype Fidelity: Developed a deep passion for engineering pixel-perfect, high-functionality prototypes that accurately simulate the final product experience, leaving no room for user error or ambiguity during critical testing phases.Ensured Flawless Execution: Applied meticulous attention to detail to map and build every possible user path, preventing test participants from going off-track due to prototype limitations and ensuring the collection of pure, unbiased usability data.
