Q: How would you describe the Policygenius approach to design?

A: At Policygenius, design is primarily a vessel for problem-solving. We're a dual-track agile shop, which means we put a lot of emphasis on targeted research to inform our solutions. The day-to-day of a Policygenius product designer typically includes structured problem solving, qualitative interviews with robust prototypes, insight synthesis, and working with our design system.
