Design Sprints

From idea to user tested prototype in just 4 days

But what is a design sprint? Originally, the Google team developed this method but from our HQ in Northern Ireland we’ve been using it to the benefit of our clients throughout the UK & Ireland. A design sprint takes an idea, a group of people and in a short period of time with a step-by-step framework drives the idea through to a valid prototype that gets tested with real users.
