01
AI-native design-to-code workflow
Design and engineering drift because they're two artifacts pretending to be one. I grounded my design
system in the same component architecture engineers ship (shadcn/ui), so parity isn't maintained;
it's built in. Claude handles mechanical exploration; I keep judgment, strategy, and craft.

Quality infrastructure, rebuilt · CVS Health
When the org disbanded its consistency-review and accessibility teams, the checks disappeared with the
headcount. I rebuilt them as Claude skills spanning the design lifecycle: self-check against the design
system, automated handoff annotation, research on tap. The scaffolding returned. Judgment stayed human.

Comprehension at scale · CVS Health
64% of traffic was mobile, but records read like bureaucracy on a four-inch screen. We rebuilt native
around comprehension, not navigation: every number got a frame of reference, every summary led with
what to do next. Accessibility wasn't a layer; it was the design.

MinuteClinic check-in kiosk · national rollout
The legacy kiosk demanded everything (payment, consents, screeners) before giving patients the one
thing they wanted: certainty. I stripped check-in from 10+ steps to five, told patients exactly where
they stood, and designed for the accessibility hardware before it existed. It became the company's
kiosk standard.

I'm Paolo Conti, a product designer who works the full stack of the craft: strategy at ten thousand
feet, systems at a thousand, pixels at one.
The last decade shipped healthcare experiences to 90+ million people: native records read by patients
who'd stopped reading them, a kiosk that became a national standard. The last two years rebuilt how I
work: an AI-native pipeline where design and code share one source of truth, and quality checks live
inside the work instead of a review queue.
I do my best work on teams where that's the starting point.
