Test multiple ideas Hackathon-style with Student Design Sprints
Design Sprints
Leveraging Google Venture’s proven Design Sprint framework, with a twist, we rapidly build, test, and validate products with GenZ digital students in just 5 days.
Design Sprints are a fast way to test ideas on target users with immediate results reducing risk and high development costs.
"Maria guided the students to form six groups, enabling us to explore a variety of ideas and innovative solutions."
— Philomène Tellaroli, Founder Séléné Helios for a project in Paris, France
Design Sprint Process
One week is a perfect time frame to design and test an idea with target users. You are welcome to join the sprint for as long (or as little) as you like!
Understand and map the challenge in detail. Brainstorm effectively then sketch out possible solutions. Democratically decide on the ultimate solution, create high-fidelity prototypes then test the solution on real users. Finally, present back learnings and decide on the next iterations!
What you Get
UX Research on your product/service/website/app
Fresh, innovative ideas following creative process
Tested Prototypes, source files and iterations
Actionable insights into user behaviour.
A talent pipeline of savvy GenZ students available for internships, apprenticeships and graduate jobs.
Commitment
3 hours. Join me for a kickoff call, brief the students and watch the final presentations.
We provide you with a sprint report of User Tested projects and Figma design files following the sprint. Or join us for more of the sprint - it’s up to you!
For the best experience - come in-person to Geneva or Paris for a few hours on the first two days to participate fully in the Design sprint. Then return on the final day for the pitch demos.
