David Betz | Senior Product Designer

About Me

I’m a Product Design Lead with experience taking complex digital products from early discovery through shipped experience. My work spans product strategy, UX research, interaction and visual design, design systems, and cross-functional delivery.


Most recently at MDCalc, I led design across major web and mobile initiatives, including the company’s 20th Anniversary redesign, the creation and scaling of a 300+ component design system, and qualitative research focused on clinical workflows, navigation, and calculator use.


Earlier in my career, I worked across healthcare, media, e-commerce, streaming, and enterprise products, building design systems, launching new experiences, and helping teams turn complex product problems into clear, usable solutions.


I’m most interested in teams where design has a meaningful role in product strategy, research informs decisions, and design shapes the product.


• Polite & tipy.

• Still believes in anarchy.
