I have over five years of experience in pharmaceutical product design, specializing in developing user-friendly packaging and labeling for medications. My work includes collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure compliance with regulatory standards while enhancing patient safety and usability. I’ve also contributed to the design of innovative drug delivery systems, such as auto-injectors and smart pill bottles, which have improved patient adherence and outcomes.

I stay updated on global regulatory guidelines, such as FDA and EMA standards, and integrate them into the design process from the outset. I collaborate closely with regulatory affairs teams to review and validate designs, ensuring they meet all legal and safety requirements. Additionally, I conduct thorough risk assessments and usability testing to identify and address potential compliance issues early in the development cycle.

One challenging project involved designing a child-resistant yet senior-friendly medication bottle. Balancing these conflicting requirements required extensive prototyping and user testing. I worked with focus groups from both demographics, iterating on the design until we achieved a solution that met safety standards while remaining accessible. The final product received positive feedback and reduced accidental ingestion incidents among children.

I prioritize user feedback by conducting usability studies and focus groups at multiple stages of the design process. For example, during the development of a new inhaler, I gathered input from patients with respiratory conditions to identify pain points. This feedback informed design adjustments, such as ergonomic improvements and clearer instructions, resulting in a product that was easier to use and more effective for patients.

I use a combination of CAD software like SolidWorks and AutoCAD for 3D modeling and prototyping, along with graphic design tools such as Adobe Illustrator for packaging and labeling. Additionally, I leverage simulation software to test product functionality and usability. These tools enable me to create precise, compliant, and user-centric designs while streamlining collaboration with engineering and regulatory teams.
