SNAP: Accelerated Prototyping

An Experience Innovation studio built from nothing into a global prototyping franchise. Mo led the creation of 32 patentable prototypes across AR, VR, voice, gesture, IoT, UAV, and brain-computer interfaces. The method mattered as much as the output: a repeatable path from ambiguous brief to working device.

The program

Modalities

The origin

"Wouldn't it be cool if..."
That's how Mo pitched it to his Executive Creative Director

Scaling out

The multi-dimensionality

The program sits at the intersection of Technology, Physicality (real things), Storytelling.

The method

The process

Mo created this approach inspired by his 16 years with Nike Innovation. Rapid prototyping in three steps.

Underserved audiences

The audiences

One constraint that led to the incredible creative results was focusing on niche and underserved audiences.

The prototypes

The method

The principle is simple: no-holes-barred creative ideation, thoughtful grouping of concepts, then laser-focused ideas.

The pitch

The scaling

Here is a pitch deck Mo built and presented to other Sapient-Razorfish offices as the program scaled globally.

The meat and potatoes

Eighteen prototypes, on film

Nearly every build ended in a demo film allowing the story of working devices to travel to clients, to other offices, and to awards juries. The library holds the sizzle reel plus eighteen individual prototypes across AR, VR, voice, gesture, IoT, UAV, and brain-computer interfaces.
