Senior UI / UX Designer

GEICO Digital Experience Team

Washington, DC

April 2017 - October 2017

• At GEICO, I collaborated with various product and development teams and User Researchers to transform functional specs, test results, and business requirements into successful design solutions and product updates.

• During a mobile app redesign effort I started with analysis of the mobile app's user pain points, which pointed me at the login experience. My redesign concept had a minimalist design aesthetic which in turn created a more focused user experience. This concept when tested three times in three groups resulted in a major success rate jump from its current login screen at 33% to the new concepts at 80%~.

• I was invited to participate in an internal team competition to create a cutting-edge mobile experience using IBM’s Watson AI technology. My team’s next-level concept was chosen by the C-Level to inspire the next generation insurance assistant.

• I worked on an array of products at GEICO including their award-winning mobile app. I've been told I helped push the team forward, think outside of the box, and to not be afraid to take risks.
