e-Service modernization, specifically the coverage pages, mobile, and some branded elements

Solution statement

Customers need clear, need-centered digital experience that makes insurance easier to understand, compare, and act on. The solution should simplify complex coverage information through intuitive content structures, plain-language explanations, guided decision-making, and consistent design patterns across products and journeys.

Discovery & Challenge

Faced with a high volume of customer calls for routine tasks—such as retrieving insurance ID cards—the goal was to empower users to self-serve through a redesigned Coverage section.

Research & User Insights

Method 1: Interviewed Liberty Mutual customers and observed call center staff to identify recurring support pain points and unmet needs.

Method 2: Analyzed real-user screen recordings to pinpoint key behaviors, friction points, and moments of hesitation.

Uncovered that customers valued Liberty Mutual’s “white-glove” support and wanted greater reassurance when using digital tools.

Competitive Research and Developing a User Persona

Competitive research: Few insurers offered intuitive service portals—presenting an opportunity for differentiation.

Observation 1: Customers want to quickly understand what applies to them. They look for personalized, relevant coverage information rather than having to navigate dense, generic insurance content.

Observation 2: Documents, specifically ID cards, are the primary goal when using the online portal or mobile app.

Primary persona: users aged 50+, often hesitant about online interactions due to security or usability concerns.

Design Solution & Strategy

Introduced an “accordion-style” drawer module enabling users to browse coverage options intuitively.

Explored icon designs and modular layouts to streamline navigation and enhance clarity.

Positioned this redesign as a stepping stone toward deeper personalization tools (e.g., quoting and policy customization).

Forward-Looking Enhancements

Next-phase features planned to meet user needs:

  • Quick-access dropdown menus for immediate coverage options
  • Clear, user-friendly explanations of coverage types
  • Ultra-simple view for users needing guided assistance—as well as customizable quoting tools.
