Nav &
Nav Pro

A complete digital healthcare ecosystem for patients, doctors, nurses, and hospital management — built from scratch with a team of 75 designers.

Dasa

A major healthcare company with an integrated health ecosystem in Latin America — encompassing hospitals, labs, imaging centers, and digital services.

When I joined, Dasa had little to no digital product culture. My mandate: build it from scratch.

Desktop Web
Unified Platform

We streamlined and centralised all healthcare-related services and needs into a unified web platform and app.

The desktop experience mirrored the mobile app in scope but adapted the information architecture and layout to take full advantage of larger screens — enabling richer data visibility for results, scheduling, and medical records.

Telemedicine
Platform

A significant milestone for the team — built and launched during the Covid pandemic.

The telemedicine platform enabled healthcare workers, including doctors and nurses, to conduct emergency calls and sustain medical treatment throughout the challenging period of the pandemic.

Services include digital prescriptions, updated queue info for medical emergencies, and appointment scheduling with specialists.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, this platform became essential infrastructure — enabling continuity of care when in-person visits were impossible across Dasa's network.

The Alma Design System became the single source of truth for design and engineering across the entire Dasa product suite.

By standardising components, patterns, and accessibility guidelines, the system eliminated duplication across 75 designers and multiple product teams. The estimated time and cost savings: 1.5 years of collective design and development effort.
