CLINICAL INSIGHTS
IN UX DESIGN
Designing for human factors in complex systems

Portrait of Angelica

Hi, I'm Angelica

I am a UX designer with a background in physiotherapy, medical science and veterinary care. Working across healthcare settings has shaped how I understand people, contexts and the realities of working in critical settings.

Today I apply these insights to UX design, focusing on research-driven design and systems that support users in complex environments.

Core Competencies

Human factors &
Cognitive Design

Designing interfaces with awareness to cognitive load, attention and decision-making in complex environments such as healthcare and other safety-critical systems.

Movement &
Behaviour analysis

Specialized in interpreting movement, psychological and physiological responses to understand how environments, conditions and stimuli affect users.

Research &
Data Synthesis

Applying structured research, ucovering patterns and contextual factors to identify user needs and make informed design decisions.

SYNERGY

The Intersection
of Science and Design

I have been trained to notice what is not always said directly. In neuropediatric and veterinary healthcare, needs are often revealed through behaviour, physical cues and context rather than words alone.

This perspective influences how I approach design. I look beyond stated requirements to understand what users need in real life, in order to support users' confidence, clarity and workflow.

  • Complex systems & clinical workflows
  • Research-based design choices
