Showing glucose patterns at a glance
I redesigned the glucose home screen and built the design system. I later became the sole designer across web and mobile.
- The challenge
- Help new users understand their glucose readings without first learning to interpret a detailed chart.
- My contribution
- I designed the glucose home screen, bloodwork results, and design system, then led design across the product.
- The result
- The new glucose home screen shipped, showing ranges and stability alongside the underlying readings.
In this project
The reading was only the start
Levels connects glucose sensor data to everyday habits. Experienced users could read the numbers and charts. New users needed help understanding what those readings meant.
I joined the small design team to work on that gap. Setup was already complex, spanning sensor hardware, partner apps, and the Levels app. The home screen needed to make the resulting data easier to use.
Show the pattern before the detail
My largest shipped project was a new glucose home screen. I designed a visual ring that grouped readings into ranges and showed stability over time.
The decision changed the focus from one current reading to the pattern across the day. Users could start with a visual summary, then inspect the numbers and chart for more detail.
Apply the same approach to bloodwork
I also designed blood test results that showed which markers were in or out of range. Explanatory videos helped members understand their results.
I worked on camera-based food logging and built the design system. Across these projects, I used the same structure: a useful summary first, with supporting detail within reach.
Keep design focused through change
After a company reorganization, I became the only designer, reporting to the CEO. My scope covered mobile, web, marketing, and internal tools. Engineers owned their projects from problem definition through release.
I worked directly with engineers where design support mattered most. The challenge became deciding where to spend limited time. The role also showed me the value of working more closely with implementation, which now shapes how I build.
Building a fasting product around the timer
Next projectAs founding designer, I redesigned the timer, added the core product flows, and grew the design team to five.
