IA and UX Designer, Contract
San Francisco, California, 2011
I worked on a tablet translation of an existing hardkey medical device. Because the tablet version would be based on the existing software for the hardkey device, I needed to investigate all of the existing functionality, determine how the software supported user workflow, and rethink how the experience might be on the tablet, while maintaining the software underneath. The deliverable documented the UI, gesture behavior, and transitions via user flows and many, many wireframes.
