Bradesco Seguros
Two years inside Latin America's largest insurance company — a customer gamification platform, a retirement-planning simulator, and the broader digital-health and financial-protection portfolio around them.
Business context
Bradesco Seguros is the largest insurance company in Latin America, a 100% Brazilian company and part of Grupo Bradesco — one of the country's most valuable brands. I worked for two years in the company's Digital Transformation and Innovation department, first as a Mid-Level and later as a Senior UX/UI Designer, partnering with Business Analysts, Stakeholders, and front-end and back-end developers across a wide product portfolio.
Personal Retirement Income Planning Simulator
Personal retirement planning — known in Brazil as Previdência Privada — is one of Bradesco Seguros' most sought-after and sold products. This simulator let customers and prospects run their own online simulation without visiting a bank or insurance agency, in three steps: define the goal, define the plan, see the projected result. I ran benchmarking and UX research, created personas and the user journey, and used A/B testing to refine the flow — defined against the Bradesco Seguros Design System. The simulator brought measurable results in lead generation and retirement-plan contracts.
Mockups above are an original recreation of the simulator's information architecture and flow, built for this portfolio — not exported production screens.
My activities
- Identified problems in the company's digital channels through heuristic analysis, UX research, and usability testing
- Created new products and ideas through market analysis and benchmarking, scoped with the Discover → Define → Develop → Deliver process
- Promoted the connection between Business, Technology, and User through the Digital Experience
- Facilitated workshops and searched for innovations to improve the Design team's practice
- Onboarded new employees into the Digital Design team (mid-level, junior, and intern)
- Created personas and user journeys for projects; led facilitation and immersion with Design Thinking
- Led Gamification projects; evangelized Design System and DesignOps practices within Bradesco Seguros
Methods used: A/B testing, Design Thinking, Design Sprint, Lean UX, Agile/Scrum.
Gamification Platform — "BS Play"
A proposal from the Digital Transformation department's UX and UI team: a gamification layer inside the Bradesco Seguros app, rewarding customers with kits, symbolic medals, and points redeemable at the Clube de Vantagens Bradesco Seguros — reinforcing the brand and customer loyalty through everyday engagement.
Release 1 — before the Design System caught up
The first release didn't follow Bradesco Seguros' style guide. Its layout read closer to a mobile video game than an insurance app, and Stakeholders and Business Analysts in the Digital Transformation department didn't accept it well.

Release 2 — realigned to the Design System
Release 2 followed the UX proposal made in the wireframe stage and Bradesco Seguros' actual Style Guide and Design System. The concept dropped the "heavy" game look for a clearer, more credible execution — the final delivery had more than 30 screens.

UX Proposal for SDPRO — Intranet Portal
SDPRO (as it was initially called) was an initiative from the Digital Experience team to create an intranet portal for the Bradesco Seguros Digital Solutions Directorate — engaging and defending the work of the people inside the Digital Transformation area. My participation was focused as a UX Designer, working primarily on a navigable UX wireframe with the team.
Other representative work
- Bradesco Saúde — digital health and insurance experiences within a mature consumer ecosystem
- Portal de Negócios — workflows for insurance brokers managing commercial activity and product information
- Bradesco Auto — design within an established auto-insurance experience
- Travel, home, and electronics insurance — accessible, lower-commitment protection products
Outcome
- BS Play shipped after being rebuilt to follow Bradesco Seguros' Design System — the first release, built outside it, was not accepted by stakeholders
- The retirement-planning simulator generated measurable leads and contracts without requiring a branch or agency visit
- Built the foundational breadth — regulated products, multiple audiences, a mature brand — that shaped my later work at SulAmérica, Vivo, and Welbe

What I learned
A gamification concept can be right and still fail if it doesn't speak the brand's visual language — Release 1 of BS Play taught me that "fun" and "on-brand" aren't optional trade-offs for a regulated financial product, they're both required. This experience across health, auto, pensions, and protection products is also where I first practiced adapting my process to the product instead of running one method by default — a habit that shaped every case study after this one.
