Profile: https://flows.cv/sonialewandowska

I’m a Staff Product Designer with deep experience in healthcare SaaS and operational systems. I specialize in turning complex problems into products that drive real usage, measurable business impact, and organizational alignment. My work spans 0→1 solutions, AI strategy, and risk-sensitive domains where trust and accuracy matter as much as usability.

## Work Experience
### Staff Product Designer @ LeanTaaS
Jan 2026 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area
I lead design for two major product lines — Infusion and Imaging — at a healthcare SaaS company building operational tools used daily by clinicians and operations teams.

In this role I:
- Drive product direction and roadmap decisions across multiple business lines, influencing investment and strategy
- Led design for the Imaging product, which became the fastest ACV product in company history, helping establish a new business line
- Led Workforce Optimization, an AI-assisted scheduling tool that reduced schedule build time by 60%+, cut staffed hours by up to 20%, and delivered up to $350K in annual savings
- Shaped responsible AI strategy for customer-facing features, reducing hallucination risk and ensuring clinical trust
- Screened, interviewed, and mentored designers to strengthen team quality and domain expertise
- Partner with cross-functional leadership to align success metrics, delivery timelines, and product vision

This role combines strategic decision-making, discovery, cross-organizational leadership, and delivery execution in a complex, high-stakes domain.

### Senior Product Designer @ LeanTaaS
Jan 2023 – Jan 2026 | San Francisco Bay Area
I led end-to-end product design across tools that support clinical staffing and operations.

Key achievements include:
- Led design for Patient Assignment, a real-time staffing tool that achieved 41% engagement and significantly improved nurse workload fairness and satisfaction
- Built and scaled the company’s first design system, improving consistency and delivery speed
- Delivered high-impact features across staffing operations, including capacity modeling, comparative metrics tools, and mobile support for staffing workflows
- Drove research and iteration during COVID-driven operational shifts in infusion centers
- Partnered closely with PM, engineering, data science, and customer success to refine requirements, ensure technical feasibility, and align on success metrics

This role involved a balance of user research, product strategy, and hands-on design execution.

### Product Designer @ LeanTaaS
Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 | San Francisco Bay Area
At LeanTaaS early in my tenure, I focused on designing workflows and tools that support nurse staffing and patient operations.

Highlights:
- Conducted discovery and usability testing in real clinical environments
- Designed workflow systems that helped users make complex operational decisions
- Partnered closely with cross-functional teams to ship high-quality, scalable solutions

### Freelance Product Designer @ Various
Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | San Francisco Bay Area
During this period I worked with founders and small teams to design dashboards, workflow tools, and responsive experiences across HR, consumer, and nonprofit platforms (ADP, Simpson Strong-Tie, Menu Beauty).

Work included:
- Redesigning workflow dashboards to reduce cognitive load
- Improving interaction and visual design across web and mobile interfaces
- Conducting research and usability testing to inform direction

### Digital Marketing Specialist @ Huawei Consumer Business Group
Jan 2017 – Jan 2020 | Warszawa, woj. mazowieckie, Polska
Before transitioning full-time into product design, I led digital marketing strategy across 30 countries for Huawei’s consumer products. I:

This experience strengthened my business mindset and helped me bring strategic thinking into product design.
