As User Experience Director for Walmart Health & Wellness, I lead a team working on a wide variety of projects. We produce customer facing experiences and associate facing software. I am also closely connected with the design systems and platform patterns teams in order to ensure that any solution we create within H&W is sharable with the broader Walmart design ecosystem.
As the leader of the UX design department at CareZone, I have worked to create a new design system for our iOS and Android applications. The new design system uses a modular system of cards which are flexible enough to surface a wide variety of important content for the user to take action on. Using my background in gaming, I want the experience on CareZone to be simple and intuitive for our elderly user base. Logging into the app and updating relevant information should be quick and easy, without needing to dig around in different menu systems.

This is the first test of a dynamic dashboard. This mockup started the thinking towards a dashboard that functions as the users to-do list. Where a user doesn’t need to hunt for actions, they can just follow the bouncing ball to the next suggested action.
