Curae Health

Healthcare financial platform & Curae product experience

Curae Health is a healthcare financial technology company providing liquidity, payment acceleration and revenue solutions for healthcare organizations and their clients.

I worked as the sole senior UI/UX and graphic designer, shaping the public-facing product experience across Curae Health and its Curae platform, alongside the marketing and sales assets that supported it.

Scope
Parent platform and Curae product experience

01 — the challenge

Complex finance, high stakes

  • Complex financial concepts. Healthcare payments and working capital are difficult to understand.
  • Product ecosystem clarity. Two portals needed to feel unified rather than fragmented.
  • High trust requirements. Users have to feel confident before they'll run healthcare operations through a portal.

The goal was to make healthcare finance understandable and approachable.

02 — my role

Sole designer across both products

As the senior designer, I owned and supported work across Curae Health and Curae:

  • UX strategy and design
  • Information architecture
  • UI design for responsive web
  • Graphic components
  • Marketing and sales resources
  • Collaboration with product, engineering and business stakeholders

03 — approach

Three principles, three problems they settled

Each principle below is the one that decided how its problem got solved.

01

Explaining complex healthcare finance

User-centered communication

Problem. Users struggled to understand how Aquina's solutions actually worked.

Solution. Led with clear value propositions, prioritized progressive disclosure, and arranged content around real use cases.

02

Parent and product ecosystem clarity

Scalability

Problem. Both companies needed to feel connected while serving different stages of the user journey.

Solution. Defined Curae Health as the parent platform, positioned Curae as the core product, and shared layouts and components across both.

03

Designing for trust in healthcare fintech

Trust through consistency

Problem. Financial decisions in healthcare require confidence and transparency.

Solution. A clean, professional visual hierarchy, plain language over financial jargon, and intuitive interactions that reduce uncertainty.

04 — impact

What was delivered

  • Clearer communication of complex products
  • Stronger cohesion between both experiences
  • A consistent visual language across channels

Specific metrics and results are confidential.

05 — reflection

What I took from it

Designing across a parent and child ecosystem reinforced how much clarity, consistency and trust depend on each other. The work sharpened my ability to translate complex concepts into understandable experiences while balancing business and user needs.
