Clients & Collaborators

“Sara is an exceptional work partner who collaborates seamlessly with behavioral scientists, data science teams, clinicians, and product leaders to design experiences that are both deeply human and measurably effective. Her ability to navigate ambiguity, align teams, and elevate the quality of strategic decision-making makes her an invaluable leader in digital health innovation.”

Steph Habif, EdD, MS Head of AI Health Coaching, Google · Founder, Health Behavior by Design™ Past: Stanford, Rock Health, Tandem Diabetes Care

“Whenever design excellence is called for – particularly but not exclusively in the diabetes technology space – Sara is the first person I recommend. This has resulted in a string of successful engagements and breakthrough designs. I have had the privilege of seeing Sara in action since 2013. She has honed an approach that starts with insight-driven research and proceeds through iterative prototyping and product creation, transforming latent customer needs into compelling products, and narratives that have catalyzed stakeholder action.”

Lane Desborough CEO, Nudge BG Past: DIY #WeAreNotWaiting Nightscout · Medtronic Chief Engineer Closed Loop / Insulin Delivery · Bigfoot Biomedical Co-founder and Chief Engineer

“I recommend Sara wholeheartedly for your UX needs. I was incredibly impressed with her speed, iterating every 2-week sprint to either create a prototype or perform a user experiment. The designs she’s created have been so impressive in their simplicity and effectiveness that multiple times when sharing a prototype, others have asked me who designed them because they wanted some of that magic in their products.”
