Prototyping with Ben Newbolt

UX & Content Strategy

Prototyping

Build interactive models of a product or service to simulate behaviour, test ideas, and gather feedback. Prototypes can range from basic click-throughs to advanced simulations, helping teams reduce risk and refine UX before development begins.

When to Employ This Service

Use to simulate and test interactions, user flows, or key journeys — particularly before handoff or when stakeholder feedback is needed.

Outcomes & Benefits

Prototypes bring ideas to life — enabling early testing and feedback before build. They help teams catch issues early and test assumptions fast.

  • Faster validation of interaction and flow

  • Higher stakeholder and user engagement

  • Reduced risk of usability issues at launch

  • Stronger rationale for design decisions

Walking through the prototype with Ben Newbolt

Approach

Prototypes simulate the experience of using a product before it’s built. I create prototypes to test interaction, flow, and usability with users and stakeholders.

  • Definition: Select flows and fidelity level for prototype

  • Build: Use tools like Figma or Rapid Paper Prototyping to simulate interactions

  • Test: Validate with users, internally or externally

  • Refine: Iterate based on findings and feedback

Typical Deliverables

Design

  • Clickable prototypes (low to high fidelity)

  • Scenario-based prototypes for testing

Deliver

  • Stakeholder/demo-ready assets

  • Testing-ready handoffs with version control
