Vina App: Investor MVP & Prototype
Overview
The client needed to bridge the gap between their ambitious vision of a "Lifelong Digital Village" and the tangible reality required to secure capital. The goal was not to build a production-ready application immediately, but to create a highly functional **Minimum Viable Product (MVP)** that could demonstrate the app's core value in real-life scenarios.
We built a polished, interactive prototype that simulated the entire user journey—from tracking cycles to joining community pods. This MVP served as the centerpiece of the client's pitch deck, providing potential investors with a "hands-on" experience of the product's potential, ultimately successfully validating the concept for funding.

My Role
**Lead Prototyper & UX Designer**. Responsible for translating the business concept into a working visual model. I defined the feature set for the MVP, ensuring we built enough to impress investors without over-engineering the backend.
Duration
6 Weeks (Jan - Feb 2025)
Team Size
3 People (1 Designer, 1 Front-End Dev, 1 Founder)
Tech Stack
Challenges
- Designing a "wow factor" interface that felt like a finished product, despite being a lightweight prototype.
- Simulating complex features like the "Life Stage Toggle" (switching from Pregnancy to Menopause modes) to prove technical feasibility to non-technical investors.
Impact
The MVP successfully visualized the product roadmap, allowing the client to move from "slide deck" to "live demo." This tangible proof of concept was instrumental in their fundraising rounds, helping them secure the resources needed for full-scale development.
