UX Strategy & Design Systems

Objective

The UnitedHealthcare Mobile Design team wanted consistency across product teams and throughout their organization. The MyUHC Mobile App was in the process of a major overhaul and there wasn't a way to share the new UI elements and patterns across the organization effectively. This created inconsistency, with design elements varying across different sections of the app. This inconsistency wasted time, money, and teams were frustrated by continually rebuilding base elements.

The Solution

Over the course of my journey on the team, we took the system from v0.0 to v1.51, it’s something I will never forget. A few months of fully heads down shipping components every week was like going to gym and putting in the reps. It wasn’t perfect, we had our growing pains but now there’s a new 2.0 version brewing.

Due to business reasons, the team and I became separated. I was kept behind by executive leadership to ensure the transition of design system knowledge permeated throughout the provider portal team. Below are a few examples of library components that I worked on.

Kudos and Praise from the UHC Crew

I am not much for tooting my own horn, so I’ve put together a collection of nice things from coworkers, managers, and directors over the last two years.

Calendar was a beast of component to ensure it dynamically scaled well.
Loads of variants, do's and don't with anatomy breakdowns. Intentionally blurry.
Close up for the number of properties nested inside a single component.
