Bank of the West

Role: Content Strategist/UX Lead

I was the UX lead for a lot of my projects. I wrote for all channels of Digital Channels Sales, including web, mobile, service emails, and global B2B customers, and contributed to our style guide.

BotW – The Mobiling

The challenge: The bank did have a mobile app, but it was for existing users only. There was no way for potential customers to easily use the website because the site was not responsive.
This was a super contentious project with high visibility that fell to me and my designer to rescue.
I designed the strategy for taking all the desktop content into the templates my designer created. We had to work closely with all the stakeholders to prioritize features.

We came through Usability testing with a fairly high score – 88%, (20 points above average) and learned a great deal about both our users and our design.
They held a party for us when we went live!

International

The challenge: BotW is owned by a French bank, BNP Paribas. They have a lot of international customers and wanted to make it easier for ex-pats to get started in the US.
As UX lead I was in charge of the project, working with stakeholders to set the deadlines, prioritize, and do QA. We got a lot of recognition for how smoothly and on time and budget we did it.
