Bridge: Structuring an MVP from scratch

Bridge: Structuring an MVP from scratch

Structuring an MVP from an initial idea, with definition of flows, architecture and a prototype for validation.

Context

Design project for a B2B platform, conceived to facilitate business connections through qualified introductions between contacts. The aim was to build a functional MVP that could be presented to investors.

My Role

I worked as a UX Researcher and Designer, responsible for mapping the product’s full journey, defining the structure and scope of the MVP, and translating the idea into flows, screens, and navigable prototypes

Approach

I opted for a gradual evolution strategy, distinguishing real usability problems from learned behaviours, with strong technical alignment and continuous validation with experienced users.

Key Design Decisions

Key Design Decisions

Structure the product around flows, not screens
Structure the product around flows, not screens

Before moving on to the interface, I defined the complete product architecture through a sitemap and flows.

Impact

Greater clarity in the proposal and alignment with the client from the start.

Iterative evolution with constant validation
Iterative evolution with constant validation

The project was developed in low → medium → high fidelity cycles, incorporating continuous client feedback.

Trade-off

More time spent on alignment, which resulted in less rework in the final stages

Definition of visual language aligned with positioning

Based on market references, we structured a visual direction clean and objective, suited to the B2B context.

Impact

Greater consistency in the presentation for investors.

03 - Context

Validation and Iteration

Validation and Iteration

Validation took place directly with the client throughout the process:

  • Adjustments to the flows based on business vision

  • Iterations on the screens in line with the references provided

  • Progressive approval up to the construction of the final prototype

The result was a navigable prototype ready for presentation.

04 - Impact

Result

Result

The project resulted in a structured MVP, with defined flows and an interface validated for presentation to investors.

Although the product did not progress after that stage, the work achieved its goal of turning an idea into a tangible solution.

05 - Results

Learnings

Learnings

Structuring a product from scratch requires clarity before execution

Sitemaps and flows are essential in highly uncertain scenarios

Not every project reaches production, but it still generates strategic learning
