At Movano Health, I led user experience for the Evie Ring, a women-first iOS-connected wearable designed to challenge the gaps in health tech, focusing on sleep, cardiovascular health, and menstrual wellness. I joined as VP of UX to bring the product from unstable prototypes to a real, shipped offering.

Working alongside the SVP of Product, VP of Engineering, and CTO, I created and executed a strategic design plan that unified our efforts across software, hardware, and data science. I hired and managed a cross-functional UX team of nine, spanning interaction design, UX research, motion, and content.

We built and launched a fully featured iOS mobile application, including onboarding, vitals tracking, sleep metrics, and insights across four pillars of wellness. I directed the creation of our net-new design system, built for iOS and ready for Android, with full accessibility support.

One of my most impactful contributions was designing a scientifically grounded super metric that helped users understand whether they had achieved an optimal balance of activity and recovery, validated through three research studies.

I also partnered with our CTO and Head of Data Science to initiate AI/ML-based health insights, surfacing correlations across activity, sleep, menstrual, and heart health based on cohort analysis.

Additionally, I led UX and human factors research in support of our FDA submission for medical device clearance.

At Google, I served as Lead UX Designer for Fitbit’s integration on the first Pixel Watch, a landmark effort to bring Fitbit’s health experience to Google’s hardware and Wear OS platform. I joined at the start of the project and stayed through launch prep, with the product shipping shortly after I left.

I led a 13-person UX team spanning interaction, visual, motion, content, and research, and partnered across product, engineering, and OS teams. One of my key contributions was adapting the Fitbit design system to fit Google’s Wear OS—rethinking layout, interactions, and visual behaviors for a round screen and new inputs.

We introduced several net-new experiences, including a heart rate graph as a customizable Tile, and refined how Fitbit’s core metrics would live on non-Fitbit hardware for the first time.

Beyond the immediate launch, I was also the sole designer on an internal advanced concepts team charged with envisioning the future of wearable hardware. Though short-lived, the team laid foundational ideas for future device exploration across multiple Google orgs.

Led a team of eleven designers creating Fitbit’s tracker and smartwatch operating systems, including its productivity, health features, and AI features. Led the design of three major device hardware launches: Fitbit Inspire, Fitbit Versa 3, and Fitbit Sense.

Co-led the UX/UI for a full scale interactive showroom, with multiple IoT connected digital interactive surfaces for a major American auto manufacturer.
