HOW WE WORK
think out loud is an innovation design network including a core innovation design team and various experts focusing on circular economy.
With backgrounds in design, engineering, communication and business administration we operate at the intersection of innovation and design.
The interdisciplinary perspective roots in a human-centric approach and strong interest in sustainability.
Based on Design Thinking and strategic sustainable product development we create experimental methods collaboratively prototyping, experiencing and impacting future scenarios.
We work with agile, rapid prototyping methods developing frameworks for accelerating circular innovation in the development of classical engineering products.
If you are part of an engineering company or a corporation and ready to transform to a more sustainable, circular way of production get in touch with us!

WHAT WE DO
We exist to help you producing more responsible, adapt and evolve into a circular economy.
We accompany you making first, experiential steps towards a more sustainable production and the transformation easier and long lasting.
Workshops
You are introduced to the benefits of rapid prototyping and the skills and resources needed for it. You practically learn a few rapid prototyping techniques to create tangible prototypes for closed loop products.
Sprints
You and us will ideate on one of your existing ideas or develop a new circular product idea together. We will generate a prototyping roadmap for your products, create low-medium fidelity prototypes and concretise a circular vision for your company.
Co-Creation
We will help you developing a new closed loop physical product or validate a circular concept in your backlog. You will research, prototype and test to create a prototype for the validated idea and develop a project plan until pre-production stage.
