Undo is a 100% digital insurance company. As the design lead for the car insurance product, I’ve applied psychology-based design principles to help new customers understand and choose the right coverage, resulting in a 9% increase in the average premium paid by new customers. I also redesigned parts the referral program to be more cost-effective, saving +3.5M DKK/yearly.

I also took the initiative to establish a user panel, enabling the design team to more effortlessly validate hypotheses and engage in ongoing product discovery.
