A “good product” is no longer enough

You need to have the right product and too much time and money are wasted in ideas that don’t work. My tested and proven processes ensure you build the best products, cheaper and faster.

Don’t invest months of work hoping for good reviews.

Invest weeks and get the right answers before developing

Play first. Test your ideas.

and then

Make decisions

My Play First methodology brings lean innovation, gamification and design sprint together in a unified process to create better products that people want to use.

Get clarity, make the right decisions

Clarity is the fastest way to find out if a product is worth developing, if a feature is worth the effort, or if your value proposition is really valid or worth pursuing. I help you get clarity on what the next step is so we can focus, test and validate solutions together.

Understand Key Needs
Collect more possible solutions
Optimize the design process

...then choose where to focus

Create

We focus on innovation at the moment of making a new feature or and entire new something.

  • Create new products
  • Revamp existing products
  • Add intelligent features
  • Expand into new markets

Configure

We focus on improving the interface design of the setup and control of your product.

  • Optimize the interface
  • Improve customer experience
  • Make products do more

Connect

We focus on the UX of connecting your product with other smart devices in an easy and enjoyable way.

  • Expand your product ecosystem
  • Create shared experiences
  • Control intelligently and remotely

What’s the exact outcome?

Play First creates agile, tangible, high fidelity prototypes. Not a sketch. Not a presentation. Not mock-ups stitched together. You get a realistic prototype that looks and feels like a real product that gets tested with real target prospects.

Catch mistakes quicker

Interactive prototypes help you quickly test an idea, make customer data-based decisions and avoid major (costly!) mistakes.

Test drive before you build

Use prototypes to showcase specific elements of your product on any device, and get real time feedback and reactions.

Develop faster, with confidence

Clarify technical specs, and assign specific tasks across teams with a common reference. No more interpretation or scrambling the design.

Show it to users & stakeholders

Use prototypes to showcase specific moments of your product and see how people react live on any device and get important feedback on time.

Try the prototype

Once you have a tangible representation of your product in your hand, and real user insights to guide your next steps, making decisions becomes a lot easier.

Raf is an energetic, colourful person whose work can be best appreciated when rewinding and re-watching his fast-moving process from concept discovery to execution, in slo-motion.
