how i use hand drawing
 

Hand drawing as a co-creative process:

The sketch product is more inviting of the involvement and exchange that creates consensus around ideas and go-forward direction. The hand drawn process “draws” out the client’s desire to be involved in the design and connect with the solution, rather than just approve it. In this way, it is a co-creative process. It invites participation in its visual spontaneity and informality of presentation.
