Making Care Budgets Clear Enough to Act On

Customers could see a balance, but they could not verify it or tell when spending was moving beyond plan.

Expenses is live for staff and customers; customer Utilisation now connects the warning to the charges behind it.

About

Nine years designing interaction and information architecture for regulated, high-complexity systems: aged care, FinTech and two-sided marketplaces. Currently at HomeMade, where I also look after the company-wide design system.

I take on the process problems that stand in the way too: how work gets handed to engineering, how offshore teams stay in step, what “ready” means.
