Designed and co-authored a design-sprint for clinician facilitator’s guide for Director of Employee Well-Being and project report using Figma
Created a wellness guide for department heads to prevent clinician burnout through facilitated 60-minute design-sprint
Managed full communication lifecycle: advertisement reach-out, meeting setup, and client follow-up
Ensured efficient team meetings and follow-through by enforcing tri-weekly team meeting agendas using Notion
The Senior Design Challenge is an interdisciplinary capstone course for Dartmouth College undergraduates. In this course, teams of students use a human-centered design (HCD) approach to tackle real-world challenges posed by a variety of partner organizations. They collaborate over the course of a twenty-week long period to conduct primary and secondary research, data analysis, idea generation, and iterative prototyping to create a product, service, or experience that addresses a real human need in our local and global community.
From January to June 2021, my team of four Dartmouth College seniors used human-centered design methodology to create an intervention that targets clinician burnout at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC). We worked with DHMC staff, the Levy Health Care Delivery Incubator at The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice (TDI), and national burnout specialists.
