About
Hi, I’m Sana 
A degree in bioengineering taught me two things: I hate physics, and I love the click when a messy problem finally makes sense. I find it really fun to create solutions for any scale of problem and for the past two years, I solved many with the world's largest electronic health record system. I'm also a chronic side-quester; some of my favorite work lives outside my main clinical lane, like building a design system for Epic's recruiting portal and creating whimsical slide decks. Every detour teaches me a new angle of design that I bring back into my main work.
Design is not my only passion though. When I log off, I’m usually petting my chickens in Stardew Valley and crying at Lorde concerts.
"Sana has had a tremendous role and impact in helping me understand [supply chain] workflows, and my overall growth as a UXD. She is very generous with her limited time, and always gives well-informed, wise advice for research, design, and ownership."
“Sana continues to demonstrate strong design instincts, consistently balancing simplicity with functionality. She's proactive about flagging potential usability issues early... rather than waiting for feedback after implementation, which has saved valuable time in the review cycle.”
“Sana continues to impress me... She escalated issues with [development] that deviated from mockups in a way that might raise issues with customers... She also has been very involved with the project teams to make sure they're following good design principles.”
