Revamped Beam's approach to design system governance and collaboration with the UI engineering team, resulting in greater parity between Figma design system and developer repository, process alignment, and WCAG accessibility compliance for both systems
Co-facilitated and led usability tests and co-creation sessions with UX research team and relevant stakeholders to uncover problem spaces and insights to inform design direction of key projects
Synthesized new digital experiences as sole designer and with other designers and UXR to ease the process of understanding and obtaining insurance coverage for employees, as well as broker and internal tooling that more easily facilitates data management. Projects include:
--> BeamElect, a tool to help employees make informed decisions about their insurance coverage needs, resulting in an average increase of 18% in ancillary benefit enrollments
--> A digitized evidence of insurance (EOI) medical questionnaire experience for requesting additional life insurance coverage
--> Designing an in-app experience in Lighthouse, Beam's broker/group-facing system, to add and manage a company's employees
--> Designed an enhanced census enrollment experience for internal and external facing tools that would parse and 'smart-match' census files to a standardized table with inline editing capabilities, guiding users through potential errors and formatting issues
