> Product Designer  | Turning Complex Data & Workflows into Clear Experiences

Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/chrisgodowski

I’m a product designer focused on healthcare, where complexity is the norm and clarity actually matters.
 
I’ve designed patient-facing products that translate complex systems — including EHR data and clinical workflows — into clear, intuitive experiences. My work sits at the intersection of user needs, technical constraints, and real-world healthcare operations.
 
I specialize in:
- Simplifying complex workflows and data-heavy systems
- Designing patient-facing experiences that are clear, usable, and trustworthy
- Working closely with engineering and clinical teams to deliver production-ready solutions

Recently, I led design for a patient portal at 10X Health, creating core experiences across appointments, lab results, and telehealth within a highly constrained system. I’m especially interested in solving problems where accuracy, usability, and trust are critical.

I work across UX design, product design, and design systems, using tools like Figma to create scalable, user-centered solutions grounded in usability testing and research.
