Alexxis Murray is a Senior Experience Design Lead and UX designer with 10+ years of experience delivering human-centered design across insurance and healthcare — and a first-place winner of the 2025 Travelers InJam Innovation Competition. Armed with an MFA in Digital Media & Design, she leads experience design at Travelers Insurance across the IntelliDrive® 365 and Auto Circle product lines.
Before Travelers, Alexxis spent five years at Cigna as a UX Lead in the Innovations department, where she contributed to consumer and enterprise products including myCigna. Early in her tenure, she helped design a project that earned a BIG Innovation Award (2017). She later brought her passion for design education to the University of Connecticut, where she taught design thinking and foundations as an adjunct professor in the Digital Media & Design department.
Alexxis is passionate about human-centered design, strategic problem solving, and finding meaningful ways for people to connect with technology. A lifelong learner, she holds a LUMA Practitioner certification, has trained with Nielsen Norman Group, and is always expanding her craft.
Originally from Upstate New York, Alexxis has called Connecticut home since 2010. She and her husband are parents to two young children and share their home with their beloved chihuahuas, Bentley and Jackson. When she's not designing, you can find Alexxis playing softball, strumming her ukulele, or drawing on her iPad — her stir-crazy brain is never far from learning or creating something new.
