Steph Whalen

Hello!

I'm Steph, a Senior UX/Product Designer helping companies bridge the gap between user needs and business goals.


As a multidisciplinary design professional with over 15 years of experience, I enjoy all aspects of product design. I strive to deliver impactful user experiences that align with business goals by applying strategic, data-informed decisions to every project. 

A diverse background, coupled with an always-learning skill set, shaped my ability to bring order to chaos.  I'm devoted to helping small businesses develop digital strategies that foster growth and leading start-ups down the road to UX maturity.

01. Revolutionizing Workplace Health Management:
The WorkCare™ Client Self-Service Portal

Tasked with transforming WorkCare™'s fragmented digital ecosystem into a streamlined solution, as the lead UX Designer, I led the rapid prototyping of an intuitive client portal for self-service medical exam & surveillance management.

That helped WorkCare to:    

  • Secure a multi-million dollar contract with its client, Halliburton
  • Reduce inefficiencies and streamline internal operations
  • Significantly boost its market position

02. Healthcare Terminology Solved:
Introducing TermHub™, Terminology as a Service

TermHub™ is a newly launched cloud-based solution for managing healthcare terminologies. As the company's Founding Designer, I led the 0 to 1 product experience design, from research initiatives, developing a comprehensive brand identity, building a high-fidelity, interactive prototype, and user testing the most current iteration.

All of which resulted in:  

  • Securing funding for the first rounds of production
  • Creating an intuitive UI for complex terminology management
  • A profitable subscription-based model currently in the market
