We defined key user scenarios to inform our design process, refining them through iterative design sprints to ensure alignment with real user needs and behaviors.

Mapping the user journey for paperless billing enrollment ensured a more efficient and streamlined experience.

An experience vision informed by client and customer insights set the foundation for the work ahead. It guided brand storytelling, design systems, photography, motion, and key product features. This artifact kept both internal and client teams aligned and confident throughout the process.
