ROLE

COMPANY

Gusto

YEAR

2022 - 2024

Spearheaded the design of a new experience on mobile, establishing iOS & Android as the primary means through which employees engage with Gusto. Also, created cross-platform parity on web to ensure a unified experience.

PROBLEM FRAMING

Employees didn’t have a way of onboarding via an app which lead to CX touch points, lower engagement, and retention. Also, the existing onboarding flow had numerous forks and complexities that could be tedious for employees.

Kicking off the project, I facilitated a design workshop that brought together cross-functional stakeholders. Leveraging Figma and Figjam, I successfully spearheaded a thorough look at the primary flows and pinpointed key issues with the existing flow.

DESIGN. ITERATE. REPEATE.

Iterated and experimented on mobile apps to drive higher conversion into depositing their paycheck into a Gusto Spending Account. Run as an A/B/C test.

Led the design process, from discovery and user research to prototyping, across iOS, Android, and web. Additionally, collaborating on growth experiments with the engineering team to boost conversion rates for our Financial Products.

REFLECTION

This project highlighted the role of collaborative problem-solving and iterative development in achieving business goals and enhancing customer experiences. By involving cross-functional teams early in the process, we were able to identify key areas for improvement and implement a modular, chapter-oriented onboarding flow.

RESULTS

The percentage of employees who have a Gusto Cash Account is rising fueling product adoption. Dramatically more people are setting up direct deposit with more of their net pay and spending more money on the Gusto debit card sooner.
