Onpointly: Diving into the Problem Space to Unlock a New Product

Objective: I embarked on a dynamic 4-week sprint with Co. Lab, supplemented by rigorous training, mentorship, and a subsequent work placement through Riipen. The mission was to conceive, craft, and present the groundbreaking product Onpointly, weaving together robust research, interactive prototyping, and an impactful pitch.

Diving Deep Into the Problem:

Conducted comprehensive research through surveys, user interviews, and online data collection to understand user needs and pain points.

Synthesized gathered data to inform the drafting of a detailed project specification, outlining the key features and functionalities of Onpointly.

Developed wireframes for an interactive Minimum Viable Product (MVP), focusing on user-centric design principles and iterative development.

Led the pitch presentation, articulating the project vision, value proposition, and potential impact to a panel of judges.

Outcome: The project, Onpointly, emerged as one of the top 10 projects out of 200 students, earning a coveted spot in Demo Day. This recognition underscored the effectiveness of the research-driven approach, agile development, and the ability to quickly iterate and launch a viable product.
