# Nicholas Miclette > Sr. Product Designer specializing in 0-1 product design. Creating intuitive AI empowered digital experiences that solve complex problems in the healthcare and robotics industries. Location: Seattle, Washington, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/nicholasmiclette I'm a user experience designer specializing in medical products combining my expertise in design and healthcare to create optimal user experiences for medical devices, software applications, and digital platforms used within the healthcare industry. My primary goal is to ensure that the design of these products cater to the needs, expectations, and abilities of both healthcare professionals and patients, ultimately improving the overall quality of care. As a designer I possess a deep understanding of the unique challenges and complexities associated with the medical field, including the critical nature of healthcare settings, patient safety, and the regulatory requirements that govern medical product design. I stay up-to-date with the latest medical research, technological advancements, and best practices in user-centered design to ensure that my work aligns with industry standards and supports positive outcomes. I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams that typically include healthcare professionals, engineers, product managers, and researchers. I conduct thorough research and user studies, aiming to gain insights into the needs, behaviors, and pain points of user groups. With gained insights I develop a user journey, wireframes, mockups, and prototypes.
