CIBC Life Insurance

At a glance

Business Need

CIBC’s life insurance needed a way to stay competitive and meet evolving client expectations. A more modern website was needed to embed useful analytics and improve client experience.

Goal

Redesign the end-to-end digital purchasing funnel, from the landing page to application.

Role

I led the design — defining the strategy and delivering relevant artifacts . I collaborated with key stakeholders including legal, product, and design to achieve results within the 3 month timeframe.

Results

6% conversion rate increase year-over-year
71% increase in units sold year-over-year
$1MM in cost saved
This project would not have been possible without the support from my boss Keye Tang & James Maeng, fellow designer Mikaela Maquiling, UX researcher Justin Lau, and other SME's.

My process

I believe setting up a stable foundation is essential to project success — building key relationships, communication channels, and identifying relevant goals. This usually takes place concurrently during "Understand the problem" phase.

Here is the high-level overview of my process:

Understand the problem
I took a mixed-methods approach: combining analytics, literature research, competitive analysis, and usability testing to identify major opportunities.
Prototype and iterate
Next, I led a series of workshops to co-create the experience. I iterated based on concept testing results, reducing risk and ensuring business and user needs are satisfied.
Communicate
Finally, I presented the findings to executive stakeholders and hand-off the designs and deliverables to the implementation team.
