Insurance ExperienceRedesign.

Reimagining the insurance journey for a mobile-first generation.

Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance wanted to broaden its traditional agent-to-customer model with a mobile-first experience where a younger generation could discover, select and manage insurance more independently.

02 / The Challenge

Insurance · Self-service

From agent-led
to self-service.

The ambition was to attract a younger generation of customers and move beyond a traditional one-to-one agent relationship.

The digital experience aimed to help people independently explore insurance options, find suitable coverage, plan insurance, track policies and make payments.

03 / Research & Evaluation

Review · Compare · Recommend

Understand
the landscape.

Heuristic evaluation. I reviewed the existing desktop and mobile web experience, documented usability issues and friction points, recorded severity types and ratings, and outlined recommendations.

Competitive benchmarking. Progressive, Allstate and GEICO were reviewed across quote journeys, ease of use, customisation and customer support, including Home and Auto bundle journeys.

Patterns identified in the review

Editable coverage · Pre-filled information · Contextual assistance · Tooltips · Multiple-choice inputs · Progress indicators

Reconstruct
the journey.

I reviewed the existing insurance journeys and recreated them as clearer end-to-end flows across multiple product lines.

05 / High-Fidelity Wireframes

Screen-by-screen UX

Detail at
every screen.

I translated the research and journey work into detailed, screen-by-screen high-fidelity wireframes.

They covered screen layouts and content hierarchy, interaction details and functional elements, supporting assets and visual references, across multiple insurance product journeys.

The wireframes were handed to the client’s in-house Graphic Designer to apply the brand styling and colours. I was not responsible for final visual UI design.
