The NovaSeq was a high-throughput DNA sequencer and a pivotal project during my tenure at Illumina. Collaborating closely with a team of software engineers and biotechnologists, I assumed crucial roles as the UX designer, user researcher, and product designer.

My primary responsibilities were centered around the initial stages of the NovaSeq platform's development, encompassing the conceptualization and wireframing of the initial screens. These wireframes underwent rigorous testing through multiple rounds of usability assessments, with each iteration incorporating valuable user feedback to refine the design further.

After completing the research phase, I collaborated with another Product Designer to craft the user interface, ensuring alignment with Illumina’s brand language and a seamless transition from wireframes to the polished final design. My contributions to the NovaSeq platform ultimately led to my recognition as a listed inventor for a Design Patent (USD965626S1).
