Bene · Independent concept
Designing benefits enrollment as connected decision support.
Bene carries context from one choice to the next, showing how plan selections affect eligibility, estimated cost, guidance, required actions, and enrollment progress.

Product premise
One benefits choice changes what comes next.
Choosing a health plan affects account eligibility, estimated cost, dependent coverage, and later actions. Most enrollment tools present these as separate tasks. I designed Bene to retain state and explain the consequences of each choice as users progress.
How I built it
From product model to working prototype.
I defined the product logic, information architecture, content flow, and interaction model, then built and tested the connected prototype across responsive states.
What I designed
- Product premise and decision model
- Information and content architecture
- Eligibility and state logic
- Interaction and visual direction
Where AI helped
- Building connected routes and states
- Translating decisions into responsive UI
- Revising behavior across the prototype
- Testing more of the end-to-end experience
What the prototype surfaced
Five places the product logic had to hold together.
- State persistence
- “Compare all plans” returned to the main health-plan page while preserving assessment answers and the recommended plan.
- Eligibility
- The selected health plan determined whether an HSA or Healthcare FSA was available.
- Messaging
- Advisor content changed after user actions, while read state stayed aligned across messages and notifications.
- Completion
- Dependent verification affected enrollment status, and completing all four benefits changed the progress indicator to a checkmark.
- Cost
- Updated selections changed cost across the experience rather than on a single screen.
