Design Sprint

From idea to a clickable prototype like this in 4 weeks.

Loka's Design Sprint rapidly turns business ideas into interactive mobile or web screens — tested by real users — so you can gather insights, get buy-in and move forward the way you intended.

50% of app design projects go over schedule and budget. With a Design Sprint, you'll see your concept brought to life and tested by real users before you ever write a line of code. The result is a clear, validated path that teams and investors can act on.

The 4-Week Process

Combining behavioral science, business strategy and design thinking, our rapid collaboration will guide your team from idea to an actionable prototype that saves you money and time.
