My Journey from Lead Product Designer to GenAi Product & Design Leader

For over a decade, I've worked as a lead product designer in healthcare, where I leveraged best in class research, ux and ui principles to design for the end-user. However, the main decision-making tool in healthcare is driven by business considerations and the ability to ship and validate product / market fit as soon as possible can mean life or death for a company.

Motivation for Transition

‍I'm motivated to transition to a Senior Product Manager role so that I can make strategic decisions that align with the business, data science, engineering and the user.

My experience has taught me that while UI visuals are importance, in healthcare, their is a major shift to incorporate GenAI into ux flow and product and this is where I can contribute more than your traditional PM who does not have a design or engineering IC background.

Key Skills Transfer:

My domain expertise in healthcare, along with my ability to balance business needs with research, design and data requirements, equips me to navigate the complexities of bringing a healthcare GenAi product or feature to market. I am able to effectively with engineers and designers, ensuring we deliver products that meet the high standards of patient care.

Evolving Role and AI:

The evolution of design with generative AI tools means focusing less on basic UI visuals and more on data integrity and content delivery. My goal is to integrate AI tools that enhance our processes and improve outcomes

Driving Product Strategy:

As a Senior Product Manager, I will leverage my experience to drive product strategy while guaranteeing the voice of the user is heard and coaching existing designers on the team. My focus will be on creating products that deliver high-quality patient data and improve content delivery, ensuring they provide real value in a tough-to-sell market.

Summary:

This transition represents a commitment to driving meaningful change in healthcare products. By combining my design expertise with a strong understanding of the healthcare business, I aim to deliver products that not only meet business objectives but also significantly enhance patient care.
