Self-Identification Based Contact Routing


Designed and launched a contextual engagement widget on DIRECTV’s homepage with clear paths for direct call, scheduled sales callback, and chat. The experience separated new-customer sales intent from existing-customer support needs, improving routing quality across contact paths.

Problem: A Static Contact Flow Was Misrouting Users


The legacy widget only offered “Call Us” and “Schedule a Call,” with no routing logic for new vs. existing customers. This led to misrouted sales calls, limited engagement, and unnecessary strain on the sales team. It also lacked a self-identification step, clearer support routing, and a chat-based assistance path.

From Static CTAs to Intent-Based Routing


The redesign introduced clearer routing across scheduled sales callbacks, existing-customer support needs, and quick chat assistance, helping users reach the right contact path with less confusion.

Simplified equipment and service management

Overview


Redesigned Verizon Fios account surfaces to improve equipment visibility, service clarity, and cross-platform consistency across app, mobile web, and desktop. The work focused on helping customers manage internet, Wi-Fi equipment, TV, DVR, and phone services within a more unified account experience.

Problem


The existing Fios account experience relied on outdated design patterns, inconsistent information architecture, and fragmented platform logic. Key service and equipment information was often buried or missing, making it harder for customers to understand what was connected, check service status, access Wi-Fi details, or resolve issues through self-service.

Account Home Redesign


The redesigned Account Home experience prioritized service visibility and streamlined account management. Users can view connected equipment, check status, and navigate between internet, TV, and phone services through a more consistent interaction pattern across mobile web and desktop.

Research & System Review


As part of a digital service evaluation, I reviewed the Fios Account Home experience and documented CX issues by task, screen, severity, and product area to support prioritization.

Authentication


I also supported authentication flows within Verizon’s broader account ecosystem, including user ID, password, passkey, security questions, and two-factor authentication. This work focused on making credential-related tasks clearer and more consistent across desktop, mobile web, and app surfaces, while supporting implementation-ready specs for cross-platform delivery.

Paid-Search Lead Capture Flow


The Quadro quiz supported DIRECTV’s paid-search landing pages, where high-intent visitors needed a faster way to compare package options. The redesign helped qualify user intent, guide visitors toward more relevant recommendations, and create stronger context for sales follow-up.

Original quiz

Qualification Gap


The previous quiz captured contact information before users had enough clarity on package fit. Without stronger decision logic across delivery preference, internet needs, and content interest, users had less guidance and weaker reason to continue into the sales follow-up path.

Decision Architecture


The redesigned quiz introduced a clearer decision sequence across content interest, service model preference, internet qualification, and package fit. This moved the experience from a contact-first flow to a guided qualification path before recommendation or sales follow-up.

Guided Quiz Experience


The redesigned quiz guided visitors through one package decision at a time, helping them narrow content preferences, service options, and internet needs before moving toward a recommendation.

Tailored Recommendations


The completed quiz translated user responses into package-level recommendations, including service bundles, genre add-ons, and device options. This gave visitors a clearer next step before choosing whether to shop, call, or enter the sales follow-up path.

Qualified lead generation at scale
