TARAH KNARESBORO WRITING & DESIGN
Let's make healthcare better
I’m here to infuse simplicity, spark, and compassion into your healthcare projects. Whether you’re working on designing a new piece of technology, getting buy-in from your clients, or honing your overall product strategy, I'll help you uncover true needs and design interventions to match.
We both know healthcare is infinitely complicated, as are the human thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that surround it. But through deep respect for the complexity, effective simplicity can emerge.
WHAT I PROVIDE
VOICE UI DESIGN
Polish Your Conversational Interfaces
I'm happy to offer strategic design support for your text or voice-based conversational interfaces. Through my 6+ years in this field, I’ve led the design of speech-based IVR applications, Alexa skills, and chatbots. I'm particularly experienced in creating products that support health learning and behavior change.
WRITING & EDITING
Clean, Clear Communication
With 10+ years of health writing experience, I can help you put any idea into a clear, compelling narrative. This includes explaining your company’s value to potential clients (white papers, press releases, web copy), translating complex concepts topics into plain language, or motivating people to take an action (signing up for a service, scheduling an appointment, forming habits).
PRODUCT STRATEGY
Data-Oriented Design
I will work with you to develop your product using design-thinking methodology. We can strategize on how to uncover true user needs, translate them into into a prototype, and refine the product through user testing and iterative design. My process involves a heavy focus on user research, user testing, and principles of behavior science.
"Better is possible. It does not take genius. It takes diligence. It takes moral clarity. It takes ingenuity. And above all, it takes a willingness to try."
