This product allows auto body shops and property mitigation vendors to video chat with insurance adjusters. I designed the consumer-facing iOS and Android apps, as well as the internal-facing desktop web app. The product's MVP was launched after 6 months; based on MVP results, we iterated on the design and features of the app through rapid prototyping and user testing. We increased its user base to 11,000 active users and reduced a 1-week process to 46 minutes. The product is used to handle more than 70% of Allstate's supplemental estimates nationwide. ► I led the design of 5 enterprise-facing products, 2 from a period of exploratory user research to an MVP release, using rapid prototyping, user testing, and iterative design.
