To realize one application that provides every guest with an unparalleled level of convenience, personalization, and seamless interaction across all Alterra-owned and partner destinations worldwide. Our solution focused on an seasoned rider who is looking to activate her crew on a powder day. We gave her ways to quickly see mountain conditions, commuincation tools for rallying her crew, and reservation tools for managaging her day from first chair to aprēs ski with her friends, and more. Our product pitch works because it is rooted in human-centered research, driven by user insights, and tells stories that lead to excitement on our clients faces, executives playing with our prototypes, and users using our solution. We aslo won the work which Bttr did in Q3 of 2023.
“I prefer drawing to talking. Drawing is faster and leaves less room for lies." - Le Corbusier
“What I love about the creative process, and this may sound naive, but it is this idea that one day there is no idea, and no solution, but the next day there is an idea. I find that incredibly exciting and conceptually actually remarkable.” - Jony Ive,
As a way to encourage students to capture their process it means showing their sketches.
