Supporting designers to create better healthcare experiences.

Designing for Better Outcomes

Healthcare experience design is unlike any other design field. It combines the need for functional, intuitive design with the responsibility of impacting lives through healthcare services. From navigating regulations to addressing the diverse needs of patients, providers, and healthcare staff, healthcare design requires a deep understanding of complex workflows and the emotional weight behind every interaction. Design with Care is built to support these challenges with specialized resources for designers in healthcare, offering guidance to create impactful, user-centered solutions.

Mission

Empower healthcare experience designers by providing the resources, principles, and community they need to design thoughtful, user-centered, and impactful solutions that improve healthcare outcomes.

Vision

Imagine a future where designers, healthcare professionals, and individuals collaborate seamlessly to transform healthcare experiences, making the world a healthier, more inclusive place for everyone.

Origin

Early in my career, I was fortunate to work at large companies with access to invaluable resources, including patients and healthcare professionals for research and collaboration. But when I transitioned to my first healthcare startup, I quickly realized how difficult it was to access these same resources, especially with tight budgets. That’s when I knew I wanted to find a space that connected designers, healthcare professionals, and patients. Since I couldn’t find it, I decided to build it myself—and that’s how Design with Care was born.
