A little about me

My name is Alice Curiel and I'm a product designer specializing in health tech, wellness, consumer apps, and AI products. My professional focus extends across healthcare, medical devices, marketplaces, and consumer wellness.

From redesigning a clinical software to building an AI-powered nutrition app from the ground up, the common thread in my work is trust. I specialize in designing trust into experiences for users who don't give it easily.

My approach is rooted in my foundation as a graphic designer (BFA, magna cum laude, The City College of New York), which taught me that a product's visual system and its strategic goals must work seamlessly together.

I want to work with teams building things that matter. If you are developing a product where earning the user's trust is step one, we should talk.

How I Work
Six stages, every project

Learn

I lead stakeholder interviews and user research before any wireframe exists, grounding every design decision in real problems, not assumptions. This defines what success looks like for the business and the user from day one.

Map

Information architecture and user flows come before visual design. A validated structure reduces downstream rework and keeps the interface aligned with actual user mental models.

Build

I produce high-fidelity Figma files, dev-ready specs, and detailed handoff documentation. Close collaboration with engineering throughout the build phase keeps implementation aligned with the original design intent.

Test

Usability testing and compliance review happen before every release. This is a functional gate built into the process, not a formality added at the end.

AI-Augmented

I integrate AI directly into my workflow, including setting up MCP servers to connect design tools with AI agents. This automates repetitive tasks like asset export and documentation, freeing more time for strategy and craft.

Prototype

I use AI-assisted coding tools to build functional prototypes and validate real interaction behavior early. This confirms direction in the browser before any development resources are committed.
