Product Design Update – Vol. 69

When a new product connects to an App, the user experience becomes the product.

Too often, development jumps straight into heavy coding before the user flow, interface logic and commercial viability have been properly validated.

At Idea, we create semi-functional app mock-ups that simulate real interaction, allowing clients, users and investors to experience and test the concept early, without committing to full-scale software development.
For connected physical products, this approach allows both the hardware and digital interface to be validated in parallel, reducing integration risk later in development.

Looking to expand into the digital space, our client Johelma identified an opportunity for a social platform dedicated to dogs and their owners, with a particular focus on connecting breeders and pet enthusiasts.

Idea supported the early-stage concept through user research, feature definition and scope refinement to ensure the platform was commercially viable before development investment. Our involvement extended to brand naming, logo creation and guidance on intellectual property and international trademark protection.

With a clear brief established, the concept was translated into structured user flows and interface layouts, evolving into a semi-functional mock-up capable of demonstrating real interaction without committing to full software build.

The result was a credible, investor-ready tool that enabled meaningful feedback and positioned the concept for confident next-stage development.
