Overview

Worked closely with the founders of this InsurTech startup through the discovery process and assessment of MVP requirements. Worked to simplify complex flows and requirements into concise feature sets.

Worked on creating the user personas, storyboards, flowcharts and wireframes to communicate our solutions to key stakeholders. Iterated on deliverables to reflect client feedback on a bi-weekly basis.

Designed the interface for the most critical flows and core functionality, to be developed as the MVP.

Vision Statement

To build an easy-to-use and intuitive platform that enables agents and brokers to improve their workflow and efficiency during the quote intake process.

To enable SMBs to quickly and easily get quotes from multiple carriers without the hassle of filling out multiple forms.

To systematically educate clients during the intake process so that their agents and brokers can spend more time on revenue generating activities.

User Personas

The first step in developing the ideal user experience for any product is to understand the people who use it.

We begin by defining who our users are:

Characteristics: What do we know about them?

Goals: What are they trying to achieve by using our product or service?

Questions: What are some of the common questions they have while using our product?

Frustrations: What makes it hard for them to achieve their goals, or answer their own questions?

Using all of this information about our users, I create hypothetical representations of them, called personas.

During the design process way we can refer back to these personas to ensure we’re meeting our visitors’ needs.

User Flows

The User Flow screens represent the high-level fundamental flow(s) contributing to the primary portal function. The creation and delivery of a quote to a small business owner. While the broker/agent is the primary actor, the business owner and carrier actors are needed and included to complete the cycle.
