Case study
FM.com and the FM Resilience Index
Two years as a senior experience designer at FM Global: I led the FM.com redesign and design system for the company’s 2024 rebrand, and ran usability research on the FM Resilience Index, an interactive data product.

01FM.com redesign and design system
FM is one of the world’s largest commercial property insurers, and its website is how the market understands what it sells. When the company rebranded in 2024, the site had to carry the new brand across a large content estate maintained by marketing and content teams that publish every week.
I led experience design for the redesign: discovery sessions with senior stakeholders, the information architecture, prototypes in Figma and HTML, and documentation for components and brand standards. The main deliverable was a reusable design system, so teams could build consistent pages without a designer reviewing each one. I worked directly with the development teams implementing it in Sitecore.
02FM Resilience Index research
The Resilience Index ranks countries on the resilience of their business environment and presents it on an interactive map. I led task-based usability research on it: could people navigate the map, find help, and read the data correctly?
The study found friction in map scrolling and navigation, in finding help, and in interpreting the charts. Each finding became a specific recommendation for the product team on interaction cues and data exploration.
03Also at FM, and before
- Discovery sessions and usability studies with senior stakeholders across the business.
- An email design system and conversion-focused marketing work.
- Mentoring a junior designer through live projects.
Before FM, from December 2021 to March 2022, I was a senior experience designer on the Digitas and GroupeConnect teams supporting BankofAmerica.com: product discovery and user research for initiatives requested by the bank’s leadership, and contributions to its enterprise design system.
