In-house at Bank of Queensland Group
Service Designer
Unfortunately, details of my time at the Bank of Queensland cannot be included in this case study as they may have a material impact on the Bank and its business.
With a focus on improving customer experience, digital transformation and building out their new digital banking platform, BOQ Group is actioning various projects across multiple phases of the customer lifecycle.
Assisting the lead service designer, I supported projects by:
- Drafting initial project plans
- Conducting desktop research and competitor analysis
- Drafting initial discussion guides and surveys
- Conducting user and stakeholder interviews
- Synthesising data and developing initial findings and insights
- Drafting assets such as empathy maps, personas, current-state and future-state
journey maps and service blueprints
- Drafting reports, recommendations and presenting findings back to stakeholders

By exploring concepts and mapping out the future-state app onboarding experience for a certain customer type at one stage of the customer lifecycle, the findings went on to inform the app build, features and the internal systems required to facilitate the collective experience.
