Test… to gather feedback. Briefly walk your partner through your sketches. As your partner reacts capture feedback and changes directly on your sketches. Make modifications as you go!

Reflect… partner reacts capture feedback and changes directly on your sketches. Make modifications as you go!
Was your first wallet and your final wallet the same?
Why were they different?
How much did your prototype tests change your understanding?
What would happen if you did another iteration?
How might you continue this iterative process?
How is this different from a traditional project approach? DP
