DIEM — Health & Wellness App Product Development
I founded and led the development of DIEM, a multi-year health and wellness platform designed to bring nutrition, fitness, lifestyle guidance and personalized wellness information together in one experience.
The idea was to go beyond a basic calorie tracker or workout app. DIEM was designed to understand the individual user—their goals, activity level, nutrition, health conditions, allergies and other profile information—and use that data to provide more relevant daily guidance.
My role covered virtually every part of the product and business development process. I worked closely with professional software developers to define features, workflows, functionality, user experience, testing requirements and ongoing improvements. The developers handled the programming, while I directed what the platform needed to do and how the overall system should work.
I also hired and worked with licensed dietitians, physicians and other health professionals to develop the wellness information behind the platform. That content was incorporated into formulas, rules and logic designed to provide personalized recommendations to users.
DIEM included features such as personalized daily regimen items, nutrition tracking, exercise tracking, health conditions, allergies, goals, reports and wellness recommendations. Users could select goals such as losing weight, getting fit, improving overall health, toning, gaining weight or maintaining their current condition.
The platform was also designed with a professional side in mind, allowing trainers, coaches and health professionals to eventually review user information, provide guidance and work more closely with their clients.
Beyond the product itself, I was involved in branding, competitive research, UX direction, content development, marketing, social media, business strategy and commercialization. The larger business model included consumer subscriptions, professional accounts, corporate wellness programs and potential white-label licensing.
DIEM was a substantial multi-year product-development project that brought together technology, professional wellness content, user experience and business strategy. It demonstrates my ability to take a complex idea, define how it should work, coordinate the right specialists, and develop it into a structured product with a clear path toward commercialization.

Health & Wearable Tracking App
I chose the warm background to make this feel like a wellness journal. And limiting the entire UI to a single accent means your eye always knows where the important thing is - because there's only ever one color telling you.
The body mapping screen is the standout. Whether it's sensor placement for a wearable or pain tracking, the interaction model is immediately obvious. Point at where it matters.
The dashboard packs a lot without feeling dense. All on one screen. That works because every card uses the same visual weight and only the circular progress ring gets to be larger. Equal hierarchy across metrics means the user decides what's important.

Recent animation I worked for Cardinal AI Promo Video, really fun to play with their new branding shapes and colors!
Dr. Emily Wheeler needed a fresh, elevated personal brand for her future functional medicine business without losing the warmth, trust and subtle familiarity of her legacy identity. The system had to carry her expertise across website direction, educational content, templates and future practice growth without becoming another generic wellness brand.
I blur some parts of the branding, I always protect some IP-sensitive parts.

The restrained palette and editorial type hierarchy make the warmth feel intentional—especially alongside the structured system context. Great example of turning a personal brand into a flexible web direction.
