Prototyping and Visualising
Prototyping makes something invisible become something real.
Our background in product design enables Snook to create simple mock ups, using sometimes rather random objects such as lego, paper, tape, cardboard or play-do. We used paper mock ups at our recent workshop with students to design a new service for their library, this allowed us to re-create the screen interface, separating the different components of interactivity.
Prototyping in this way enables people to engage with new ideas before they are real; Snook create a very subjective and intimate view of what a product, service, or system we are designing could be like.
During an event with an organisation, Snook recently prototyped a new product for capturing insights internally. We used paper, pens and a camera to re-create an idea for a hand held device to capture innovation.

What people say about us
"Snook are just so well-connected. Not in the sense that they know everyone worth knowing in their field and beyond (though they do), but that they have a really well-developed sense of networks, and the value of working through them. For a trio who have not been in business really all that long, I'm seriously impressed with the emphasis they place upon growing the overall capacity of the service-design economy by feeding and developing its networks. This is a mature, long-term view. Embedding service-design thinking in Scottish public services needs this perspective. Snook have it."
