INTUITIVE SURGICAL
Designing for the digital ecosystem behind the da Vinci surgical robot.
Intuitive Surgical builds the da Vinci robotic systems, the most widely adopted surgical robots in the world.
Their digital platform, My Intuitive, connects surgeons, hospital admins, sales reps, and field service engineers to training, case video, and collaboration tools.
I was embedded across four product work streams simultaneously as a visual designer.

What I worked on
01
Hospital Federation
Migrating clinicians from personal logins to hospital-managed authentication. Multiple user types, each with a different entry point, funneling through three registration routes into one experience.
flows + screens
component updates
mobile + desktop
02
CSR Dashboard
Internal tool for sales reps to pull up any surgeon's profile on-demand. Search by name or hospital, filter by role, switch between specialty and individual views.
end-to-end flows + UI
search → detail views

Working at the intersection of healthcare and software changes how you think about craft.
At Intuitive, there's no shipping a "good enough" version and iterating later. The people on the other end of these screens are clinicians, field engineers onsite at hospitals, and sales reps sitting across from surgeons. That raised my bar for what a complete handoff looks like every state documented, every edge case covered, no ambiguity left for engineering to interpret.
