Summary of work

I designed the Johnson & Johnson Wound Care Resource™ app screens for both iOS and Android. An essential wound care tool, the app helps patients and care providers identify new wounds, track everyday treatment checklists, and access recommendations — making it a key resource for managing wound care from initial assessment through continued treatment.

The visual design needed to support fast, confident information retrieval for users who might be actively caring for a wound. Clarity and precision were not just desirable — they were the baseline. Color was used sparingly and purposefully: for category indication and status communication, never decoratively.

Problem

The client wanted to give basic wound care guidance to customers using their products, make it easy to manage first aid supplies, and help users locate nearby stores that stocked what they needed.

---

Process

I worked with the engineering team to build an app experience integrating wound care checklists and recommendations, educational videos, and store supply counts with stockist locations. The app made it easy for patients and care providers to identify signs of complications — such as infections — while managing a wound after seeking medical attention. We designed, developed, and tested under aggressive timelines and profit margins, ultimately delivering the project a week ahead of our initial estimate.

Outcomes & impact

Delivered on iOS and Android, a week ahead of schedule.

Learnings

Healthcare design carries a weight that consumer design doesn't — the consequences of a poor design decision can directly affect patient care. Sitting with that responsibility during the design process changes the quality of attention you bring. This project gave me a respect for the clinical context that informs how I approach any project where the stakes are higher than convenience.

Designing for professional tools also reinforced the principle that utility is the highest form of beauty in functional design. A wound care reference app that's beautiful but slow to use, or visually impressive but ambiguous in its data display, has failed. Getting the functional design right is the achievement — everything else is in service of that.
