Product Designer · New Grad, Class of 2026 · Seattle → Anywhere
Amara Osei designs calm software for anxious moments.
Interaction design graduate with three shipped products across health and fintech. I obsess over the first five minutes of an experience — onboarding, intake, and the moments people decide whether to trust you.
Selected Work — 2023–2026
Four case studies · Process on requestRebuilding telehealth intake so patients actually finish it
A 34-field medical intake form was losing four in ten patients before their first appointment. I redesigned it as a conversational, save-as-you-go flow.
−41% intake drop-off · Shipped to 120K patients · A/B tested over 6 weeks

- iOS + Web
- Figma
- Usability Testing
Problem
Shadowed 9 patient intake sessions; mapped where hesitation turned into abandonment — mostly insurance and history fields.
Process
Prototyped three flows, tested with 14 participants, and cut required fields from 34 to 12 with progressive disclosure.
Outcome
Completion rose from 58% to 83% in the A/B test; the pattern became Fernwell's default for all clinical forms.
A design system four teams stopped arguing about
Built token architecture and 38 documented components for a Series-B fintech, replacing three diverging component libraries.

End-to-end concept: research with 22 poor sleepers, a one-thumb night-mode interface, and a wind-down ritual built around haptics instead of screens.
