Led Voice of the Customer (VoC) strategy for a clinical logistics application designed to assess real-time patient acuity and streamline communication between requestors, dispatchers, and receiving teams for emergent interfacility transport. Transformed pain points and opportunities identified through VoC into strategic product concepts by designing and prototyping intuitive workflows that addressed clinical and logistical needs. Led cross-functional design cycles, guiding iterative prototype development, stakeholder feedback, and hands-on user testing with clinical end users. Collaborated with engineering and product teams to transition validated prototypes into development and supported launches that closed gaps in transport coordination.
Product Manager - Director of UX at Air Methods
November 1, 2022 - January 1, 2024
Led VoC interviews with dispatchers to uncover workflow challenges in scheduled fixed-wing transports. Translated research findings into product requirements and visualized proposed solutions through workflow diagrams. Developed solutions that significantly improved dispatch team communication and operational efficiency across transport workflows. Designed and prototyped a new internal application experience, focusing on scheduling efficiency and billing clarity. Facilitated iterative design cycles, validating solutions with end users and refining based on feedback. Partnered with development to break designs into user stories and provided ongoing support through implementation and testing.
Product Manager - Director of UX at Air Methods
February 1, 2021 - January 1, 2023
Led VoC research to uncover user needs and operational challenges in the drone-based medical transport ecosystem. Identified key pain points for senders, receivers, and dispatch teams, and translated findings into actionable product opportunities. Designed a dual-interface platform for hospitals to request and track drone transports, and for dispatchers to manage logistics in real time. Created end-to-end workflows, high-fidelity prototypes, and validated solutions through iterative user testing. Translated approved designs into detailed development tickets and worked closely with engineering to ensure implementation aligned with user needs and system requirements.
Software Developer, Product Strategist at Crema
