PROBLEM · CHALLENGE · SOLUTION

From scattered signals to confident product decisions

01 / PROBLEM

Signals were scattered

Client data, emerging ideas, and delivery conversations lived across separate views without a shared product narrative.

02 / CHALLENGE

Alignment had to move faster

Consulting, product, and engineering teams needed credible evidence to evaluate opportunities before committing delivery capacity.

03 / SOLUTION

Prototype the decision

A high-fidelity product narrative made the opportunity visible, aligned investment, and clarified the next move with confidence.

EXAMPLE / OLIVER WYMAN

Design an enterprise dashboard for insurance portfolio analysis.

Users: Portfolio Managers, Actuaries, Executives.
Goal: Help users identify profitability trends, compare reinsurers, and investigate claim performance.

Include KPI cards, Sankey diagram, filters, AI assistant, data table, and drill-down interactions. Generate desktop-first responsive layouts. Show loading, empty, and error states. Use an enterprise design system with reusable components. Explain interaction logic and recommend usability improvements.

AI-ASSISTED ENTERPRISE INNOVATION

From complex ideas to testable enterprise products

I developed a scalable prototyping process that translated business requirements into interactive concepts using AI-assisted workflows. These prototypes enabled faster client feedback, earlier validation of product assumptions, and more confident investment decisions before development.


The result was a more efficient discovery process that strengthened collaboration between consulting, design, engineering, and enterprise clients.

RISK MODEL CONSTRUCTOR

From complex spreadsheets to intuitive model design

We transformed manual, error-prone Excel workflows into a visual model builder that helps risk teams create, adapt, and compare models with confidence.

Collaborative by design

1

Select Risk Types

Choose from a library of predefined risk categories.

2

Drag & Drop Components

Add financial vehicles and arrange the model structure.

3

Configure & Define

Set allocations, percentages,

and assumptions for each item.

4

Validate & Review

Built-in checks ensure logic integrity and completeness.

5

Save & Collaborate

Version, share, and reuse the model across the organization.

DISCOVERY & STRATEGY

Understanding the operational challenges before redesigning the experience

Before proposing solutions, we partnered with business stakeholders, consultants, and end users to understand how risk teams actually worked. Research focused on uncovering workflow bottlenecks, decision-making patterns, and opportunities to modernize without disrupting trusted processes.

01 / PRODUCT COMPLEXITY

Feature-rich, hard to navigate.

Multiple modules made the platform demanding for both new and infrequent users.

02 / FRICTION

Critical decisions required too many manual steps.

Users relied on multiple dashboards, spreadsheets, and repetitive filtering before reaching actionable insights.

03 / EXPLORATION

Deeper analysis lived outside the product.

Frequent exports revealed a need for clearer in-product filtering, comparison, and insight.

04 / CONTINUITY

Modernize without disrupting work.

A phased rollout had to preserve trusted functionality while improving the end-to-end experience.

ENTERPRISE UX / SCENARIO BUILDER / REUSABLE VISUALIZATION CARDS

Building interfaces that help experts make confident decisions

Insurance analysts don't need more charts, they need clear answers.


The experience was designed around the decisions users make every day, surfacing the right metrics, contextual insights, and recommended actions at the right moment.

A modular layout made the product scalable while preserving consistency across future features.

Challenge

Insurance specialists depended on highly complex Excel models that were difficult to learn, maintain, and scale across teams.

Product Vision

Create an enterprise platform that simplifies scenario modeling through intuitive workflows, reusable templates, interactive visualizations, and guided user experiences.

Business Value

Reduce manual effort, improve collaboration, accelerate decision-making, and establish a scalable digital foundation for future AI-powered capabilities.

GUIDED MODEL-BUILDING EXPERIENCE

Making complex risk modeling visual, guided, and collaborative

SELECT • CONFIGURE • VALIDATE

Step-by-step guided model creation

Rather than starting from blank spreadsheets, users begin with structured templates that guide them through selecting risk types, grouping financial vehicles, defining assumptions, and validating logic. This approach shortens onboarding while making advanced modeling accessible to a wider range of specialists.

Interactive model workspace

The workspace brings together risk categories, financial vehicles, and connected model components into a single visual canvas. Real-time editing, drag-and-drop relationships, and contextual validation help users experiment with scenarios before exporting results or sharing models with their teams.

MOBILE MEMBER EXPERIENCE

Turning policy management into an intuitive mobile service

Insurance products involve complex terminology, multiple stakeholders, and infrequent interactions. I designed a mobile experience that simplifies these moments through clear hierarchy, actionable guidance, and reusable interaction patterns that scale across the member journey.
