Low fidelity design: A guide to making your design process inclusive
summary
Claim: using low fidelity artifacts makes the design process measurably more inclusive by getting stakeholders, users, and engineers to engage earlier. Workflow: sketch three concepts (sorting, filtering with fuzzy matching, and a sacrificial concept) with pen and paper or stylus/tablet, test with users to get unfiltered feedback, then ask developers about feasibility. Outcome: stakeholders align, users give clearer critique, developers report sorting and filtering are easy and often cheaper to ship together in Figma-driven workflows.
