Todd Rinker
Welcome!
I’m a global team leader specializing in medical device interfaces and complex design systems.
Manipulative representation of IEC 61217 Patient, Table, and Room coordinate systems for radiotherapy treatment. The LEGO® model (literally) helped orient designers in their collaborations with clinicians.
Featured work
Coordinated efforts between designers, researchers, developers, and domain specialists.
Case Study
Elekta ONE Design System
A living design language expressly tailored to medical applications.

Case Study
Live radiotherapy treatment
Designing for empathy within an urgent, complex environment.
Learn more
Gallery
Medical device and healthcare projects
Solutions incorporating user research, systems thinking, and iterative problem solving.
Learn more
Core skills
Deep capabilities for information-critical applications
Design leadership
Global team guidance. Task delegation, project oversight, peer mentoring, process creation, and socialization of design across a worldwide organization.
Design systems
Comprehensive Figma component libraries, design token variable arrays, and developer handoff files.
AI interoperation
Claude Code / Figma MCP integration for jumpstarting design system elements, taxonomic constructs and base-level research.
Clinical UX design
Workflow-based software solutions leveraging domain-specific design patterns, informational hierarchies and dense data elements.
Deep prototyping
Quick-concept Figma prototypes and complex multi-device ProtoPie system demos.
Motion design
Safety-critical micro-interactions, state transitions, and status notifications.
Documentation
Complete guidelines of design elements, procedures and usage rules.
Iconography
Small, unambiguous pictograms conveying technical functionality at a glance.
Accessibility
Advocate and experienced practitioner of WCAG 2.2 Accessibility Guidelines.
About me
Principal UX Designer with decades of work with companies including IDEO, Nokia, Microsoft, Google, and AT&T.
Though I’ve worked within a broad array of fields, I’m mostly drawn to deep problem-solving work where I can help professionals tackle complex problems and ideally mitigate human suffering.
In addition to medical projects, I’m also open to work within transportation, education, nutrition, environmental wellbeing, social welfare, or anything else that might contribute to the greater good.
I often think of design as an iterative process of making a thing less awful, but elegance can arise with persistence!
Let’s work together!
Available for full-time and contract opportunities.
I’m based in Portland, Oregon, USA. Well-versed with remote arrangements and travel for onsite sessions.
