How it started
How it started
My role was to work on the Colonial Life Client Portal, a portal for Plan Administrators to track payments and invoices, review their insurance plans, and check in on individual employees' policies.
Colonial Life's portal challenge; when an employee approaches their Plan Administrator with questions regarding their benefits, the admin would have to call Colonial Life policyholder to request details, which is time-consuming. In addition, once the PA updates the policies, registering the changes takes 2-3 days. Thus, the goal was to create a portal that the admin would log in to and search for the employee policy details and be able to send the information to a preferred channel (text or email) to the employee. Also, the admin would be able to make updates via the portal with the changes registering instantly.

Team Challenge
Team Challenge
I was brought into this project halfway to work with another designer to redesign the portal. It was considered a massive project for two designers, given that we had to complete the following tasks with a four-month turnaround deadline: invoices and payments, employees' profiles, and insurance plans pages. The project allowed me to work collaboratively with another designer who was already on the project while contributing my design knowledge and skills.

We tackled this project by first defining the website architecture and the user journey the admins would go through. The next step was to refine the brand element; with this, we were able to use the brand elements to design UI components and web pages.
