Tom Watson

Seattle Children's Hospital

Designer and Front-End Engineer

2005 – 2006

Designed and shipped patient- and family-facing web experiences as both a designer and front-end developer. The work prioritized clarity, trust, and accessibility for people navigating stressful healthcare moments.

This role strengthened my ability to lead with user needs in high-stakes contexts, balancing clinical, operational, and technical constraints. It reinforced a principle that still guides my leadership: good product decisions reduce uncertainty for both users and teams.
