The Challenge

Intuit's expanding ecosystem of interconnected products and services created increasing complexity. The boundaries between hardware, software, and service were blurring, requiring new approaches to prevent fragmented, incoherent customer experiences.

The Approach

Joined as Intuit's first Principal Service Designer, functioning as a roving consultant facilitating service design initiatives across teams. Internal training workshops on service design methods. Service blueprinting integration into the Innovation Catalyst program. Cross-functional working sessions with surface-to-core analysis. Hands-on prototyping and design technology application.
