Nomad Health Design
Nomad Health is a company focused on bringing medical professionals to the bedside, and experienced some of the fastest growth of any business in the healthcare or staffing industries. Nomad is using Machine Learning & AI to match clinicians with positions in hospitals nationwide.
David Schultz led design for Nomad Health’s key initiatives:
Enterprise solutions & partnerships
Internal tools & processes
Building out the Design System, aligned with a company rebrand*
Creating systems & processes to modernize their design & product development efforts
Creating a design-focused approach to product strategy, to provide context for OKR & roadmap development
*along with Shay Isdale (Design Director for Clinician UX) and Amy Lee (reporting to David as head of Design Systems)
During the growth phase, many technology companies trade process & systems for speed (understandably). There comes a point where this approach becomes unsustainable, when these companies require knowledgeable professionals to come in and help them mature. Nomad Health reached this point and brought in David Schultz (as well as other new leaders) to help provide this evolution to their systems, processes and delivery. The Design Systems brought Nomad from four, handcrafted design languages to one efficient language & system that leveraged the full power of figma’s system tools (and their companion components within engineering). Just one example: we reduced the color library from several hundred unique colors to just 13. The result: faster & more consistent releases across the portfolio.
