Background

About the project

MORE is the web app Mutual of Omaha Mortgage offers homeowners and prospective buyers to track their property value and explore mortgage options. I redesigned it on my own in Figma as a design-only project.

The Problem

What wasn't working

The existing design was dated, hard to navigate, and didn't look like Mutual of Omaha Mortgage. Refinancing options were hard to compare, and the data felt generic.

The Solution

The approach

I redesigned the app on the Mutual of Omaha Mortgage brand, with a personalized dashboard, clearer navigation, and card-based sections. Interactive charts, real-time calculators, a "What if" refinance tool, and step-by-step guides make the numbers easier to understand.

Process

How it came together

I worked straight from the existing app, rebuilding the layout and components in Figma with the brand system and mobile in mind from the start.

Challenges

Bumps along the way

Refinancing is dense, so the goal was making it approachable without overwhelming users. Charts and calculators also had to stay usable on small screens.

Final Product

The finished app

A full Figma design for desktop and mobile, built on a card-based component system that follows the Mutual of Omaha Mortgage brand.

Learnings

What I learned

In financial products, clarity beats features. Designing mobile alongside desktop saves rework later.
