As a passionate advocate for innovative thinking and breaking norms, I took on the role of Product Manager and Lead Product Designer at Unyte, an insurtech company on a mission to transform the insurance landscape. In this role, I spearheaded the development and launch of Unyte's pioneering pilot product, redefining how insurance is accessed, understood, and utilized.

Project Overview

Unyte, an insurtech disruptor, aims to democratize insurance by offering digital insurance solutions to individuals while providing APIs for fintechs and businesses to seamlessly integrate insurance into their offerings. Recognizing the profound financial and emotional consequences of unforeseen events, Unyte's overarching vision is to empower individuals to navigate life's uncertainties with confidence.
