TransUnion D2C Evolution
If you’re looking for a direct-to-consumer business with tons of upside, it’s TransUnion’s direct business. With 2 million+ people visiting TransUnion’s homepage each quarter, there’s a window of opportunity every day to provide a stellar experience whether that person may be looking to dispute an item on their credit report, check their credit score, look for a credit card, or even protect their identity. Given the current products today are not connected together gave the UX team tons of room to work with and allowed us to re-imagine the entire ecosystem.
My role & our business goal
Hired in 2020 as the first head of product design at TransUnion, I was tasked to investigate the direct-to-consumer channel alongside my product counterparts and deliver a business case that outlined short- and long-term solutions backed by total addressable market and had cross-functional stakeholder buy in. Below you’ll see how we went about this along with our vision video to set the tone and key projects that delivered positive business impact.
