Summary
Molly Johnson is a seasoned product designer and design leader based in Columbus, Ohio, with 15 years of practice and nine years in senior roles shaping complex digital experiences. She blends strategy, leadership, and hands-on design to tackle ambiguous, high-impact problems—recently leading AI-driven consumer health features and an EHR redesign that improved cross-functional feature delivery. Molly has built and scaled design systems, introduced user-centered research into pricing and actuarial teams, and helped launch startups as a founding designer validating product-market fit for freelancer financial tools.
