Understanding the Problem Space
Providing Context
Throughout the course of my internship, I collaborated with 2 full-time designers and 1 project manager on Intuit Tax Advisor, an automated tool that aims to help tax professionals quickly generate tax reports for their clientele.

“As a tax expert, I need to customize my report so that my clients know it’s from me. However, I do not have time to spend all day creating the custom report, so I want it to be easy to include and exclude the information I show my client”
Client Report Builder - MVP
I was the lead designer for the new Client Report Builder feature within Intuit Tax Advisor, helping tax professionals efficiently customize and create tax reports for their clients within under 10 minutes.

Some features include:
  • Adding firm logos
  • Branding colors
  • Adding/removing report content
  • Template creation for future usage
In-product Testing Results
Success Metrics
Through collaboration with 1 UX researcher, I conducted a two stage study with 10 tax professionals to test the efficacy of my designs and how it contributed to Intuit Tax Advisor’s usability.

With the addition of the Client Report Builder tool to ITA:
  • NPS score rose from -29 to 40
  • Ease-of-use rated as a 6.2/7
  • Added value rated as a 6.4/7
Following up on a successful testing campaign, the product will be released in Q2 2022.
