Design Sprints
Design Sprints
A Design Sprint at Design Sprints Studio is a 4-day innovation process for rapidly solving big challenges, creating new products, or improving existing ones. It compresses potentially months of work into a few days, saving time and money, by directly getting market feedback to your idea – without having to build it first.
Developed at Google Ventures, it encompasses business strategy, innovation, behavior science, design thinking, and is popular at leading companies and institutions like Apple, Adidas, Facebook, Lego, Netflix, The New York Times, Standford University, United Nations, and many others!

Great to work with, easy going and very professional
Working with Martin Backes and his studio was great. We hired him to direct and consult us in our vision of becoming a worldwide-leading audio product. He used some custom-made Sprints to effectively align the Blinkist stakeholder team on the company’s brand and supported us in the process of becoming an audio-first company. The workshops were highly engaging and super productive. I was impressed by the amount of output we generated as a group, what would have taken months, took days. The Sprints gave our project the right boost to then go ahead and execute, bringing it to market only a few months later! In the end, we were even awarded the German Design Award for this project.
