BRIEF
AIG.ie redesign as an initial example of a global framework for AIG sites across the world. AIG sites were designed and managed by each market. It allows each market to respond to their specific market needs, however, it creates inconsistency in customer experience and inefficiency in adopting best practices among their digital products. Fjord San Francisco team researched and developed 3 concepts and the client selected a concept to move forward. Then New York team designed the product.

Design Process

We have designed the Ireland site as an example for a new site for all AIG sites globally. Along with simplicity and clarity as top design priorities, we considered flexibility as one of the major design principles so that the design can be adapted for each market their own specific needs.

(2 interaction designers exchanged ideas through sketches. When we finalize our ideas, we digitized and shared with the larger team and the client)
