In working with the California Paramedic Foundation, I was tasked to create dashboard and analytic tools for EMS agencies to track Opioid events across the state of California, utilizing real local hospital data. This application was referred to as the CAPF Registry Application, which included overall functionality such a geolocation, heat mapping, invite member flows with admin controls, table event data, and generative AI tooling. Role: Lead UX/UI Designer Timeline: 4 Months Tools: Figma Scope: End-to-end UI design, UX flows, and a comprehensive design system

The California Paramedic Foundation set out to solve a critical problem: emergency medical services across the state lacked a unified system to track opioid-related events and measure performance. Without centralization, agencies couldn’t easily share data, visualize trends, or coordinate responses.

I was brought on as Lead UX/UI Designer to design the CAPF Registry Application. A responsive, data-driven platform that would automate performance metrics, integrate referral systems, and provide paramedics with actionable insights.

Scalability: The registry needed to handle not just opioid disorder data, but also expand to track future conditions.

Multi-context usability: Interfaces had to work seamlessly in both in-agency desktop dashboards and mobile/tablet views for paramedics in the field.

Data complexity: Users required flexible ways to view and interpret real-time hospital and EMS data, without overwhelming them.

Working closely with CAPF leadership, I designed a modular data visualization system built for adaptability:

Customizable Dashboards → EMS users could select which graphs to display, tailored to their workflow.

Multi-view Data Access → Each visualization supported both a quick view drawer and a detailed breakdown with tables, supportive content, and additional graphs.

Generative AI Tooling → Introduced early prototypes of AI-driven insights to surface trends and automate reporting.

Responsive Design → Over 100+ screens across three major breakpoints, ensuring accessibility from desktop to mobile.

To support long-term scalability, I built a comprehensive design system covering typography, color theory, component modularity, and light/dark modes, enabling the team to expand and adapt as new health conditions were added.

The CAPF Registry Application provided the first centralized system for opioid disorder tracking across California’s EMS agencies. By making real-time, localized hospital data accessible and actionable, the platform empowered paramedics and administrators to improve response strategies, monitor trends, and scale prevention efforts.

This project wasn’t just about creating a dashboard, it was about giving first responders a tool for saving lives.
