Project Atomium

Removing frictions between external users and ING

In Q2 2022, ING launched a new high-priority initiative called “Project Atomium” with the goal of making its services more accessible and user-friendly. This project introduced a new “Lego-style” flow for agnostic user onboarding, which aimed to remove frictions between external users and ING.

Car insurance user flow

Redesigning and modernising the top flow of ING Insurance

While ING/NN had already developed a user flow in the past, it had become outdated over the years and did not meet their desired performance standards. My role involved reimagining and redesigning the user flow to ensure it aligned with modern user expectations and delivered a seamless and intuitive experience.

Ing Bank Belgium / AXA Insurance

Travel insurance user flow

Redesigning and optimising a forgotten user flow

In collaboration with AXA Insurance, ING offers a Travel Insurance. However, the flow was old, not operating properly and with a very small conversion rate. We set out to improve it and offer a much better user experience.

Avira Antivirus for Windows

Jumpstarting a radical redesign in record time

A Top 5 player in Europe, Avira Antivirus is a complex security and protection suite for Windows, with 50+ millions of users across the world and with a revenue of up to €11 million per quarter. While providing great protection, the product had major issues with user churn rates, user acquisition or maintaining the quarterly revenue, due to extremely dated UX.
