FAQs

  • Is the MVP discovery really necessary?

    90% of startups fail in the long run, most of them because they lack a product-market fit. Going through the MVP discovery process, we can increase the probability of being part of that 10%. In the worst case scenario, in just 2 weeks you can figure out if your idea will work and start iterating if you are not convinced.

  • What framework do you follow?

    I follow the Idea to MVP blueprint, a lean approach to UX/UI Design for new products. This is a framework that includes a step-by-step process and design methods or procedures that allow us to come up with solutions that can fit in the current market and are relevant to the pain points and goals of our target users. Unlike traditional methods, this framework leverages existing research and solutions to speed up the process and start validating our ideas and hypothesis in just 2 weeks.

  • Can you do the design and development after the MVP discovery?

    Yes, I also provide a UX/UI & Product Design Service and I work with experienced software developers to build the MVPs. Send me a message!

  • What if I only want the pitch deck and mockups?

    If you want to skip the workshops, you can fill up these templates and provide me with all the information I need to start working. l highly recommend doing some research and going through some of the exercises I mention in my Idea to MVP blueprint first.

  • I already have a list of features. Could you help me with the Designs?

    Of course, if you provide me with a document with a list of features and user stories, I can help you with my UX/UI & Product Design Service.

  • I am not sure about my idea yet... can I get some advice?

    Sure! Send me a message and we can have a chat about it. I can help you figure out what to do and give you some advice without any compromise.
