Apprentice io - Manufacturing technology for a span of industries
‍
Overview
Apprentice is a powerful platform built for life sciences teams to plan, execute, and scale drug manufacturing through digital batch records and collaboration tools. Designed specifically for the complexities of pharma, Apprentice supports everything from clinical trial production to commercial-scale operations—all while maintaining compliance and traceability.MyGeneFood is a science-backed web platform that creates custom nutrition plans tailored to an individual’s unique genetic profile. By analyzing DNA data, the platform assigns users to one of 20+ personalized diet types, helping them make informed food choices that align with their biology.

‍My Role
As a product designer on the Apprentice platform, I worked across complex workflows involving digital batch execution, recipe management, and operator task interfaces. I partnered with engineers, product managers, and QA leads to simplify dense manufacturing logic into intuitive, compliant, and highly usable software for operators and supervisors on the production floor.

Key Features & SolutionsDigital Batch Records (EBR)
Translated paper-based manufacturing protocols into interactive digital workflows, enabling operators to capture data, flag deviations, and stay compliant—all within a streamlined, guided interface.

‍Recipe Authoring Tools
Designed internal tools for scientists and process engineers to create and modify manufacturing recipes with version control, modular steps, and linked materials—ensuring precision and scalability.

‍On-the-Floor Task Interfaces
Built responsive, touchscreen-friendly interfaces for operators to perform steps, log data, and get guidance directly from tablets or wearable devices—reducing friction and error rates in cleanroom environments.

‍Audit Trails & Compliance UI
Ensured every user interaction was traceable and visually understandable, helping QA teams and regulators easily review batch history, signatures, and system checks.

Based Diet Archetypes
Users are matched to a genetically optimized diet profile, complete with food lists, macros, and health risk indicators—all visualized in a clean, digestible format.User-Centered Onboarding
Designed a step-by-step onboarding flow that simplifies DNA upload, explains privacy protocols, and helps users understand the value of their results before they begin.

‍Impact
‍Apprentice modernizes pharmaceutical manufacturing with digital tools designed for the realities of regulated environments. My design work helped reduce operator error, improved execution speed, and enabled faster scale-up from clinical to commercial production—all while maintaining strict compliance standards.
