Why I still sketch on paper first

Thomas Brandon
Product designer and founder

Every project I work on starts in a cheap notebook. Not because paper is romantic, but because it is fast and forgiving.
Ideas before pixels
On paper I can draw ten bad ideas in ten minutes. On screen I polish the first one for an hour. The bad ideas are where the good one hides.

Then move fast
Once a sketch survives a night of sleep, it goes straight into a clickable prototype.
Paper for thinking, screens for testing.
