Description

Creating prototypes from paper is a very powerful tool in Design Thinking and Lean Startup and is often underestimated. The application area of paper prototyping is not limited to the illustration of digital formats and user interfaces of apps, but can represent the complete analog area of our life.

Simple stickers, wristbands, vending machines, household appliances, packaging ... which are brought to life from paper or cardboard.

Experience shows that many users can only give relevant feedback on ideas if they are in front of them as a prototype and can also be touched.
