MXD
(concept overview)

product design, business design, strategy

My graduate program required us to create a venture [concept] with a viable business plan, conduct testing, and [at minimum a plan to] launch an MVP. 

In April 2016, I pitched MXD. The idea started as a platform for gymnastics coaches but ultimately evolved into a crowdsourced fitness platform, catering to both fitness instructors and fitness enthusiasts.

The page below highlights the deliverables of the final project and an overview of the concept as a business venture, while the case study can be found here.

A time traveling disclaimer: This project was birthed in 2015 and I’ve been updating the UI every couple of years.

role

This was my graduate thesis project. All design, copy writing, photography, illustrations, and video production were done myself.

I had an amazing support system in the form of the faculty at the School of Visual Arts, Designer as Author + Entreprenuer program.
