Overview

In May 2018, I started out as a Senior User Experience Researcher on the Digital Customer Experience team at JP Morgan Chase. I worked primarily on the redesign of the Chase Website and Mobile app and informing the next iteration of the Manhattan Design System.

I was promoted in July 2019 and led User Experience and Accessibility research in the Digital Quality team. Our work was about going beyond compliance, conformance, and governance in order to create a product that is useful, usable, and delightful.

Information Architecture

One of the first projects that I worked on when I joined the firm was gathering insights on the information architecture and navigation of the Chase Website and Mobile app. In the first phase of this study, I conducted a round of interviews with 10 participants to inform a Customer Journey Map to provide context on how the Chase Website and Mobile app fits into the lives of customers. It also help frame the change management strategy and timing of communications related to new product lauches.

During the second phase of this study, I worked closely with the Product, Engineering, and Design teams to streamline the experience across 800+ pages on the Chase Website. I went on to conduct a card sort and usability study of a medium fidelity prototype with an additional 10 participants to inform the navigation and call to action buttons.

Voice of Customer Program

As the User Experience (UX) and Accessibility Research Lead, I worked closely with the Data Science team to run queries and analyze data pertaining to accessibility. Each month, we compiled data from all the User Experience Research study findings, customer service logs, Net Promoter Scores (NPS), Customer Satisfaction Scores (CSAT), and social media in order to triangulate it and run an in-depth analysis. The results were published a Voice of Customer Report shared company-wide that highlighted areas of success, improvements, bug tracking, and prioritizations.

Especially during the pandemic, we were able to assist vulnerable populations navigate the complex landscape that unfolded. We processed over 3,000+ pieces of feedback monthly and created 20+ tickets to ensure proper remediation.
