MAVEN WAVE

Senior UX + Agile Lead, 2014–2017. Management consulting — Agile and UX for enterprise clients in regulated healthcare and finance.

Six portals for 200K+ AbbVie users, OptumRx's first patient-facing product, and a 15% drop in drug-interaction fulfillment errors.

Comerica is a regional bank, AbbVie a global pharmaceutical company, and OptumRx a pharmacy benefit manager — organizations where a design decision has to clear regulation before it ever reaches a user.

01 · Align First, Then Design

The through-line across every engagement: get alignment early. Open card sorts — employees grouping the content themselves, into their own categories — then the resulting site structure taped to a column everyone had to walk past. Stakeholders who build the structure themselves defend it later — the deck never has to.

Card-sort methodology and session notes from Comerica's TMC reboot, with photos of participants running open card sorts and the resulting wireframes taped to a column.

02 · AbbVie

Designed six portals for AbbVie serving 200K+ employees, clinical-trial staff, and patients across trial and patient-support programs — improving medication-adherence tracking.

03 · OptumRx

Rebuilt the pharmacy formulary platform for OptumRx and created the company's first patient-facing product, reducing drug-interaction-related fulfillment errors 15%.
