Hi! I am a product designer who focuses on translating complex concepts into simple, intuitive designs. Currently, I work with Komodo Health to design products for people across the healthcare industry. Inspired by my experiences in the healthcare industry, which has some of the most complex challenges, I enjoy tackling tough problems using lean UX design principles. When I’m not designing, you can find me hiking, gardening, or trying out new veggie-forward recipes 🌱 Portfolio: www.sophiagoswami.com
