My Bike Claim

4th Dimension’s motorcycle insurance claims process was slow and confusing. I redesigned it into a clear, mobile experience built on real user insights. In just 6 weeks, we launched a MVP that gave users real-time updates, and in 12 weeks a product that reduced support calls by 44%, and boosted team efficiency, while laying the groundwork for future tools.

Highlights

Confusion to Clarity

The designs weren’t just UI, they spoke reassurance, clarity, and control for users stuck in a long winded system.

Highlights

Design in Action

Translated real pain points into product features. All screens aimed to tackle specific user needs to deliver trust and understanding,

The Problem

The motorcycle claims process was broken. 4D relied on Proclaims, a legacy legal system never designed for motorcycles. Claimants were left guessing, and teams were drowning in communication chaos.

Claimants had no visibility into their claims and constantly chased updates.

Proclaims was built for legal workflows, not tailored to vehicle or rider needs.

Discovery

I started by getting close to the chaos. I interviewed internal stakeholders, observed workflows, and sat with support teams to understand where the process broke down. Then, I went outside.

I began with user interviews and split the into three groups: past, current, and potential claimants.

After gathering datapoints I split their opinions into mindsets : Reassurance, Impatient, and confused. These where the building blocks for our features

How can we cater to all claimant mindsets, while implementing features that relate to the collected data?

Strategy

We implemented the Basecamp's shape up methodology: What could we build in 6 weeks that meaningfully boosted efficiency, clarity, and satisfaction?

Outcomes

This wasn’t about creating a UI. It was about earning trust. I learned to design for real-world chaos, not assumptions.
