VestMap — the experienceFROM INTENTION TO INTERACTION.
01 / THE CHALLENGE

A problem
worth solving.

Commercial real estate investors burned weeks on manual deal analysis, pulling demographics, competitor density, expansion trends, and crime data from a dozen disconnected sources before every decision.

VestMap needed to compress that entire workflow into one AI-driven platform. I designed the product experience in Figma so an investor-grade site-selection report feels effortless: search an address, pick parameters, get a clear report in minutes.

02 / THE THINKING BEHIND IT

Intentional at
every turn.

  1. 01

    Designed the end-to-end platform UX/UI in Figma (from address search and parameter selection to the structured “VestMap” report), starting from the investor's real question (is this location worth the deal?), not just what data happened to exist about it.

  2. 02

    Shaped a clean, data-dense interface that makes complex GIS and demographic data easy to scan, trust, and share: dense enough for institutional users, clear enough to hand straight to a client.

  3. 03

    Built the design system and flows so the same report template scales from a single block group up to a full nationwide portfolio, without redesigning it every time the data model grows.

  4. 04

    Partnered with The App Chefs, who engineered the AI agents and backend orchestrating multiple data APIs, so the interface could stay focused on clarity while the AI did the heavy lifting underneath.

THE EXPERIENCE, STEP BY STEP

One connected journey.

  1. 01

    Enter any US address

    The starting point for every report; no account or setup required to search.

  2. 02

    Choose the scale

    From a single block group (~1,500 people) up to a full metro: 393 nationwide. Every field is available at every scale.

  3. 03

    Get the VestMap report

    A structured, investor-grade location report, built to be scanned in minutes, not researched for weeks.

↳ The same report format scales into a full portfolio; repeat for the next address without starting over.

03 / WHERE IT COMES TO LIFE

Made to work.
Crafted to feel.

VestMap Agent: search, analyze, or compare
01 / THE EXPERIENCE

VestMap Agent: search, analyze, or compare

One chat-style entry point across four modes (Analyze, Compare, Discover, Research) with recent searches saved below, so a returning user never starts from zero.

Discover: map every building in a market
02 / THE EXPERIENCE

Discover: map every building in a market

A radius or geography search returns thousands of buildings with unit counts and distance, filterable by beds, baths, and $/SF, built for scanning a whole submarket, not one address at a time.

Rent Advisor: every underpriced unit, ranked
03 / THE EXPERIENCE

Rent Advisor: every underpriced unit, ranked

20 opportunities worth +$8,128/mo surfaced automatically, each showing current vs. recommended rent, delta, and comp confidence, turning a spreadsheet audit into a prioritized action list.

My Reports: every VestMap, saved and reusable
04 / THE EXPERIENCE

My Reports: every VestMap, saved and reusable

Past reports for an address stay on file with remaining Pro Searches tracked alongside them, so a team can revisit a location without burning a new search.

The full report, one address at a time
05 / THE EXPERIENCE

The full report, one address at a time

Demographics, Income, House Price Index, Schools, Crime, Expansion, and Rent all live in one sidebar-driven report, so an investor scrolls once instead of opening a dozen sources.

Income, down to the block
06 / THE EXPERIENCE

Income, down to the block

Median household income at block, tract, ZIP, county, state, and national levels side by side, so a $117K block inside a $79K county reads as signal, not noise.

The exportable report: proof, not just a dashboard
07 / THE EXPERIENCE

The exportable report: proof, not just a dashboard

Every analysis can generate a shareable PDF: the same numbers from the live dashboard, packaged into a clean, client-ready document in one click.

04 / THE DIFFERENCE IT MAKES

Design with impact.

240k+

Census block groups covered nationwide

84k+
