User eXperience Writing:
Financial Institution
I may get sued if I mention for whom this material was written. But you can see the large financial service I interned for as a UX writer.
The situation: in the big scary world of insurance, there's a lot of jargon long customer flows that--whether they like it or not--they have to finish it. The UX writing team's job is to make it as painless as possible for the user.
The challenge: readability under an 8th-grade level, make sure consumers know what the h*ll they're getting into, and satisfy brand voice and tone.
Tool Tips: State Auto Insurance
States are particular in what words are used for the description of offerings.
Underwriters portrayed the need while I cleaned up the confusing soup of run-ons and 12th-grade reading-level first draft...j*nk so users could understand what they are opting in or out of.
Design Kit Content
Definitions for components within the large financial service's (shh) revamped design kit.
I collaborated with head UI designers and coders to ensure correct usage across their beast of a web presence.
