01 / Perspective

Grounded in evidence.
Guided by empathy.

Hi, I’m Bree, a first-gen American, science girly at heart and tech nerd by trade, who left pre-med for product design but never stopped using scientific curiosity and method to shape strategy. For 9+ years, including at Johnson & Johnson MedTech and CVS Health, I’ve built software where compliance, technology, and real human needs meet. Clarity for the people using it. Confidence for the people accountable for it. Delightful on the surface, defensible underneath.

How I help your team

Focused expertise for consequential products, complex operations, and teams that need to move with confidence.

01

AI & LLM Platform UX Strategy

The challenge

Building user trust in automated systems where errors or over-trust have real operational consequences.

How I help

I design human-in-the-loop interaction patterns, graceful error handling for API outages, clear source verification flows, and conversational layouts that mitigate AI hallucination risks.

02

Regulated UX & Compliance (QMS)

The challenge

Operating under strict mandates like ISO 13485, EU MDR, and 21 CFR Part 820 often leads to cluttered, unusable software.

How I help

I turn complex quality workflows, audit trails, and compliance controls into intuitive, operable UI while keeping your platform audit-ready.

03

Enterprise Accessibility & Inclusive Design

The challenge

Meeting WCAG 2.2 AA and AAA standards across extensive web and mobile digital touchpoints.

How I help

I conduct heuristic audits, author screen-reader and keyboard-traversal specifications, and coach engineering teams to shift accessibility left in the product lifecycle.

04

Design Systems & 0-to-1 Platform Architecture

The challenge

Fragmented UI tools and slow developer handoff can stall feature delivery and create product inconsistency.

How I help

I build React-aligned token systems, modular component libraries, and scalable information architectures that align product, design, and engineering.
