Solution
Solution
We envisioned and defined “Built to Build”, a new platform designed for the DIY community. The product focuses on supporting users through the most challenging stages of any DIY project — planning, sourcing, and assistance.
The platform brings together three key services: a marketplace for DIY products, a sourcing by offering curated project box kits, and online community for hiring DIY experts and exchanging knowledge.
To ensure an impactful and feasible launch, we prioritized the “Built to Build” project service — an online platform giving users access to ready-to-execute DIY projects. Each project includes a corresponding box kit with all required materials, Bosch tools, and online support, ensuring users have everything they need to complete their builds with confidence.
Our team delivered Bosch a comprehensive design solution, along with user validation and a business feasibility assessment, providing a clear roadmap to bring the concept to life.

Process
Research
After first user interviews we created personas and collected information about DIY process. This helped us to define customer journey and identify the main pain points. Together with Bosch we prioritised opportunity areas and started ideation phase.
Ideation
We worked in the weekly discovery cycles. Each week we build concept prototype and conducted a qualitative and quantitive testing to validate new ideas.
We started each week with knowledge sharing and used our learnings to kick off next ideation cycle.
Refined Opportunities
In week 3 we iterated on the concept from the previous week and uncovered a new promising concept. So we ended up with 3 viable services, which highly relieved users biggest pain points across multiple phases of the customer journey.
Defining ecosystem
We came to the vision of fostering a long lasting relationship between Bosch and its customers across the entire user journey, rather than just at one point. After narrowing down to three opportunity areas, we had a workshop to outline the core services of the new Bosch DIY ecosystem.
Defining MVP
We have built a high fidelity prototype
to share our vision for the new Bosch service Built to Build.
To verify the final concept we re-run qualitative (4 people) and quantitative (300 people) tests and we learned that over 70% of people were eager to become product’s early adopters.

“Every DIY project requires at least three trips to the hardware store.”
