App Designer & Project Manager • "InsurTech"
Recently, Per has managed and produced a new version of a consumer-facing app for an insurance company. In the project, he conducted interviews with stakeholders and app developers to identify flaws in the current app's design, flows, and functionalities, and designed pixel-perfect proposals with associated clickable prototypes.
This has made testing and evaluating the design proposals easy for the client as navigation in the prototypes has been enabled on their own devices. The result of the project is a streamlined flow where all design components are well-thought-out for an optimized consumer experience.
