The problem

Start with what
needed to change.

Skin microbiome and AI analysis produce complex data. The product had to guide a physical sample-kit journey, make a scientific report understandable, and leave customers with clear next steps, while giving clinicians one place to monitor results, adherence, and follow-ups.

Role in the workAli was the product designer on an early-stage startup team, working across product ownership, strategy, research, UX/UI, roadmap definition, QA, and iteration with developers, customers, and startup stakeholders.

The process

01

Research the market and interview customers

02

Map the journey from kit arrival to results and routine

03

Design the mobile, B2B, and landing-page system

04

Define the MVP and iterate from feedback

Inside the product

Decisions that connect
the whole experience.

01

From kit to lab

The app guides a physical task without overwhelming the customer. Sample collection is split into short illustrated screens with one action at a time, followed by a lifestyle survey and clear expectations for when results will arrive.

02

Analysis people can read

Skin Health leads with one overall score and a plain-language summary. Detailed microbiome data, skin concerns, Skin Future, and the Skincare Plan follow in a deliberate hierarchy for people who want to go deeper.

03

A routine people keep

Recommendations become morning and evening actions, with daily progress, streaks, and photo check-ins that help customers follow their plan and see their journey over time.

04

One system, two views

Customers see guidance and routine. Clinicians see client status, adherence, follow-ups, sample progress, and an AI assistant that can summarize history and help draft the next plan.

The solution

What the work
made possible.

A connected consumer and professional product system: guided sample collection, an accessible Skin Health report, personal skincare planning, routine tracking, clinician dashboards, patient profiles, and an AI assistant.
