When I joined HappyDoc, the product existed — but the design didn't. Two developers had built a functional AI scribe for veterinary clinics, shipping features quickly and iterating fast. What they hadn't built was a brand, a visual language, or a design process of any kind. Every screen reflected a different set of decisions made in isolation, and there was no system to hold it all together.
I was hired as the company's first designer. In my first year, I built HappyDoc's entire design foundation from scratch — alone.
