My role

As Strategic Designer at IBM, I co-led discovery and concept work for FNA's digital transformation, designing co-creation workshops and customer journeys.

The challenge

FNA needed to modernize its customer relationship and shift adoption to digital channels while preserving trust and accessibility for a broad citizen base.

The outcome

A new digital experience — including the FNA Ahorro web dashboard and mobile app — accelerated digital adoption and reshaped the customer journey end to end.

Customer Archetypes
Problem space

We defined a customer-centered digital transformation strategy that connected business objectives, customer experience and organizational change into a unified omnichannel vision.

Through user research, co-creation and service design, we developed the customer experience principles, digital strategy, customer archetypes and mobile experience that translated the transformation vision into a tangible product roadmap.

The result was a validated strategic framework that aligned business, technology and customer experience teams while establishing the foundation for a seamless omnichannel financial services ecosystem.

Digital Transformation & Customer Experience — problem space
Solution space

We designed a customer-centered digital transformation strategy that translated customer insights into a cohesive omnichannel experience for both customers and employees.

The four customer archetypes became the foundation for designing a personalized mobile experience and targeted marketing campaigns, ensuring that digital interactions, communication and service journeys responded to different customer needs and behaviors.

To support the transformation, we also defined the customer experience strategy, future-state journeys and a change management framework that aligned business, technology and frontline teams around a shared vision.

The result was a validated digital experience that combined a mobile application, personalized customer engagement and organizational adoption into a unified transformation roadmap.
