How Do You Move from an Idea to a Prototype?

Industrial Designer Alex Coriano weighs in on moving from ideas to prototypes. 

Alex's tips on going from ideas to prototypes:

• Sketch: Try to visualize your ideas.  
• Prototype: Use foam core, paper, and similar materials to build out your idea.
• Communicate: Use your prototype as a way to share your idea to your team or potential customers.
