We began tackling the project by overhauling the current UI to be friendlier, warmer, and more oriented toward users’ needs. The UI utilized approachable cards, an updated font that reflected the brand of State Farm, and colorful illustrations/icons. The updates provided breathing room for the important interactions for the app while reflecting the warmth and care of the State Farm brand.

To combat this, we reformatted the layout of the overview screen to start with the top three most used features of the app; upcoming bills, insurance cards, and roadside assistance. By using large friendly cards, customers can now quickly scan and see their information with clarity.

As the new mobile app was being designed, we simultaneously built and implemented a new design system for the State Farm team. My role in the design system was pushing all changes to Sketch while meeting regularly with the State Farm development teams to discuss changes and instructions on how to use the system.

We also made the system compatible for both Android and iOS to apply to both platforms.
