Overview


Gravie is a health benefits start-up that provides employer-sponsored health plans to employees. To support the launch of its flagship plan, Gravie Comfort, Gravie wanted to refresh its member-facing enrollment site.


The initial ask was to update the user interface and visual design for Gravie's member site while keeping UX and page structure changes to a minimum in order to release in time for most employers' open enrollment period. To meet this time constraint the team discussed opportunity-cost trade-offs and concluded certain aspects of the restyle should be kept to a minimum, which included larger UI changes, structural changes to page layouts, and the development of a shared design system to be shared between the Member Site and Gravie's Employer Portal site.


The project influenced many other aspects of the business, including all marketing and communications collateral.


I worked with a variety of stakeholders, including product owners, engineers, quality analysts, and UX designers to ensure the restyle could be shipped successfully and on time.


Deliverables

  • UI Audit

  • Concept designs

  • Product style guide and interface library

  • UI design for all pages and at all breakpoints

  • Visual design

  • UI reviews




UI Audit


To begin, I first needed to understand the current state of the member site and take note of what types of UI elements existed and would need to be updated.

UI Design Library & Screen Designs


I built the initial UI library in Sketch and later transitioned to Figma when the UX team changed tools. During this transition, I wanted to ensure we were taking advantage of the benefits of Figma. When building components, I was certain to use auto-layout and component properties correctly. Doing so helped speed up the design process for future work. I also set up prototype states on library components which helped deliver more realistic prototypes for user testing.


While creating individual screens for the member site, I built each screen for the different breakpoints we supported so engineers and QA would understand how the screen would adjust.

Coded Style Guides

The development team built a coded style guide for all the UI elements in order to give all the engineers a better understanding of what components were available to them. Through out the restyle efforts, I made sure to check with engineering and call out whenever I thought something should be added to the style guide.
