Context
Rhyme is a healthcare technology platform focused on electronic prior authorizations, helping providers and clinical staff navigate payer requirements and documentation more efficiently.
The product operated in a highly regulated environment, with complex, variable workflows shaped by payer rules, state requirements, and strict compliance standards.
My Role & Scope
User Experience Product Designer
I was the sole UX/UI designer, supporting product and engineering teams as the platform evolved. I contributed to workflow design, interaction patterns, and visual consistency across the application.
Scope included:
Prior authorization workflow design
Provider and admin-facing interfaces
Translation of regulatory requirements into usable flows
Early design system and component foundations
Outcomes & Impact
The Focus
My work focused on:
Improving clarity in multi-step, rules-driven workflows
Reducing cognitive load for clinical staff under time pressure
Designing within compliance and documentation constraints
Supporting scalability as the product grew
The work helped:
Make complex authorization steps easier to understand and complete
Reduce user confusion and rework during submissions
Establish UX patterns that supported future platform growth
This experience laid the groundwork for my later work leading larger, multi-surface healthcare systems.
