Customers planning international travel often struggled to quickly understand the complex types of int’l services, billing and eligibility, and therefore had higher support dependency.


The initial request was ambiguous and open-ended, with 4 broad user types, 5 product categories, and high-level goals, without a clear interaction model.
I facilitated discussions across:
to align user behavior, plan details, business priorities and technical feasibility
I reviewed:
Travelers wanted immediate reassurance: “Am I covered?”
2. Too many paths increased hesitation
Too many categories and complex FAQ articles made decision-making harder.
3. Support-first behavior
When uncertain, users defaulted to contacting support.

I restructured the original four broad user segments into two functional user types based on core travel-related use case scenarios, helping simplify decision-making and reduce unnecessary branching.

I also redefined the original five requested plan categories into five optimized plan types, informed by user research, behavioral insights, and service content, to better align with how customers actually evaluate international travel needs.


The biggest tradeoff was between designing for long-term system consistency versus meeting a hard launch deadline. I wanted to further refine the experience so it aligned with other AI components and a new page template that were already in development, which would have created a more cohesive ecosystem. But delaying launch would have impacted business timelines and user needs. I worked with the team to prioritize the most critical experience improvements for Phase I and launched a streamlined version first, while documenting additional refinements for Phase II. That approach balanced speed with usability while still creating a foundation for future scalability.
Results directionally showed improved discoverability and strong engagement with personalized travel widget for authenticated users, and a noticeable lowered call volume on international travel support.
By shipping a focused Phase I solution, I was able to improve usability quickly while preserving a roadmap for longer-term consistency and scalability.
