Hi, I’m Lance Liang

Product designer with six years in complex life sciences software. Now designing how AI fits into it.

I make the fuzzy part concrete
enough to decide on.

Selected work

Oracle Clinical OneThe software drug companies use to run clinical trials, from setting up a study to collecting patient data.

On the left, at night, an illustrated study designer sits at her desk, chin in hand, frowning at a wall of JavaScript the AI wrote for a rule, her printed spec untouched beside her. On the right, the same study designer holds her spec and points at the Rule Logic card in the Rule Agent prototype, which explains each part of the rule next to the code lines it comes from.

AI in workflows

Rule Agent

An AI agent drafts clinical trial rules. I designed how study designers check them.

The agent says the rule back in plain words, asks instead of guessing, and shows what the rule does before anyone approves it.

Focused View

The patient was ready.
The form wasn’t.

One blank field, unrelated to the medication, could stop site staff from giving it. I made each step in a trial visit ask only for the answers it needs.

Prototypes in code

Redesign for Performance

The crowded screen and the slow screen had the same cause.

The page showed everything about a patient at once, so it had to load everything first. I split it into steps, so each page shows, and loads, only what the current task needs.

About · What’s on

In the kitchen, I once folded my favorite matcha ice cream into bun dough. It refused to rise, so I happily made flatbread instead. My friends have also tasted my chili oil cake and my cilantro cake .
I’ll say yes to almost anything outside: pickleball , tennis, volleyball, frisbee, climbing, a half-day hike . I like the hour where nothing else exists but the next point.
When I travel, I look for people as much as places. Talking with the people who live there is how a trip turns into a story I keep.
