Applying for healthcare can be daunting. That’s why University of Michigan School of Information (UMSI) graduate Zahra Langford has combined over two decades of experience into designing accessible healthcare applications that meet the needs of both patients and providers.

As a 2005 Master of Science in Information (MSI) graduate, Zahra was inspired by Louis Rosenfeld (MSI '90) and Peter Morville (MSI '93), two UMSI distinguished graduates who wrote the first book on information architecture. At UMSI, Zahra most enjoyed getting real world experience and making lifelong connections. Today, she works at HealthPointe Solutions as the director of user experience design and uses her UMSI degree to help patients access critical healthcare needs through friendly healthcare applications. 

I knew I could really do anything with a degree from University of Michigan.
