Steve Sutanto

Product Designer & Strategist Product Designer, Regulated Platforms Senior Product Designer Design Leader & Player Coach

Fifteen years designing across banking, insurance, healthcare, logistics and marketplaces. I work end to end, from discovery and service blueprints through prototypes engineering can build, and I settle scope with a working prototype before production code is written.

Fifteen years designing for regulated platforms in banking, insurance and healthcare. I turn compliance, security and clinical constraints into workflows people can act on without second guessing them, and I validate those workflows with running prototypes before engineering commits.

Fifteen years designing, hands on throughout. I own end to end design for platforms that thousands of internal users depend on: incident triage, identity and access, clinical intake, member journeys. I build working prototypes in code so scope gets settled on something real.

Fifteen years designing, the last six leading. I run hands on design in regulated industries while mentoring designers, building practice standards and shaping how teams frame problems. Equally at home in a critique, a discovery workshop and an executive readout.
