What we explore in sketches
- Overall form and proportions
- Character and visual language
- Ergonomics and how users hold and use the product
- Placement of controls, displays, and features
From sketch to model
Sketches move quickly into renderings and mock models so directions can be judged in more detail. Design direction often starts with a moodboard.
Where it fits
Concept sketching is an early step in our product design services, ahead of detailed engineering.
Frequently asked questions
How many concepts will we see?
It depends on the project. Early rounds usually show a broad range of directions, then narrow to a few for refinement.
When does engineering get involved?
Later. Sketching is an early concepting tool for exploring ideas freely. Engineering begins once a design direction is chosen.
Can you start from our existing design or prototype?
Yes. Many projects start from an existing design that needs to be improved or converted to a new manufacturing process.
Are sketches done by hand or digitally?
Both, depending on what communicates the idea best at each stage.
