Intro

WorkOf, a market network that connects architects and interior designers with independent furniture and lighting brands, brought me on as a Product Consultant to help grow its product offering and build a new software-driven solution. The goal was to create an FF&E procurement platform for hospitality and real estate partners, solving the difficulties faced in managing the design, ordering, and setup of projects with existing tools.

Problem Statement

WorkOf was facing challenges in managing design projects for hospitality and real estate clients with the tools available on the market. The need for a more effective solution led to the development of a new concept for an FF&E procurement platform.

Approach

As a Product consultant, I worked with the founder and CEO, Charlie Miner, to develop a product vision, strategy, and planning based on research with potential clients and industry experts. The team conducted research and built an MVP solution to test the marketability of the concept.

Results

The resulting solution, Notch, was launched as a modern FF&E procurement platform, helping teams build spaces and manage inventory with ease. The platform offers easy-to-use planning, specification, and purchasing tools.

Impact
