SpacetimeSprints™

Reframe complex challenges, explore alternative trajectories, and design smarter strategies.

Unleash visionary breakthroughs with bursts of applied creative work in conceptual design. Discover the barriers preventing your team from achieving extraordinary results:

  • Advanced, rapid ideation.

  • Bold concepts and prototypes.

  • Effective content that communicates.

  • New audiences, communities, and partnerships.

  • 10x asymmetrical reward with less risk.

Sprint Schedule

In sprint cohorts of 3-5 people, we meet online for Stage 1 to listen and learn from your team, then our team works offline and sharing updates with you until we have a complete concept design package that we present in a final conference call for Stage 5 Review.

  • Stage 1 - Discovery / Conference Call
    We establish the scope and objectives of your sprint and present our principles of conceptual design and applied or strategic imagination.

  • Stage 2 - Research and Analysis (Offline)
    We conduct summary research of your organization’s industry and market to inform our conceptual design.

  • Stage 3 - Narrative Development (Offline)
    We craft a powerful conceptual narrative around your sprint, bridge the gaps between your vision and the present, with a glimpse into adjacent, possible futures.

  • Stage 4 - Concept Generation (Offline)
    We develop original concepts and design artifacts, adding more detail, ensuring alignment with your needs, and fine-tuning our designs with our narrative research.

  • Stage 5 - Review / Conference Call
    We present our developed concepts, share feedback for your team, and review possible steps to the next-level.

In addition to fresh perspective and insights, we will give you:

  1. Original concepts and ‘artifacts.’

  2. A summary industry report for your concept strategy.

  3. A powerful narrative to support your concept.

  4. A recording and transcript of your sprint session.

  5. A :30 sec video concept trailer to share with your stakeholders, on your website, or your social media.

    Note: This is not a design project with reviews and revisions. Concepts are the steps that occur before and in between.

At the end of your sprint, your team will have an accelerated view of your concept—months of work!—with just a few hours of your time.

Case Studies

“These sprints can help to catalyze or rejuvenate a project, saving valuable time and providing fresh perspective, ideas, and creative assets.”

Sara ElShafie, Senior Associate
Environmental & Social Innovation, Milken Institute Philanthropy


“I would highly recommend this workshop to other organizations, especially those in the early stages of developing ideas that address complex issues. The conceptual design benefits are substantial, for participants from diverse backgrounds and personal journeys.”

Ross Estela Mendoza, Founder

Who is this for and why?

Our Spacetime Sprints have been designed to inform think tanks, research institutes, and science agencies but they can be tailored to work for any startup or corporate team that wants fresh perspective to accelerate their discoveries without over-stressing their resources.

Got questions?

  • Spacetime Sprints are designed to complement your existing strategies with a fresh perspective. They should also challenge your thinking as well. Think of it as a turbo-boost for your innovation process. Your team needs a lab group to practice any level of R&D if you want to remain relevant in the 21st century.

  • Beyond the tangible mockups, narratives, and strategic roadmap, the real ROI lies in the acceleration of your ideation process, the reduction of costly missteps, and the strength of your signal amidst the noise around you. The insights and perspectives you gain can lead to faster market validation and a stronger industry presence. And we aim for 10x, not 10%.

  • Both! Individuals are typically executives (CEOs, COOs, CIOs, etc.), directors, program managers, or principal investigators. Teams participating in our calls are limited to 3-5 people, but only one primary point of contact throughout the sprint. You can have as many team members as you want on your own sprint team, but we recommend keeping it to a manageable number.

  • Our sprints are managed by seasoned teams of researchers, designers, and storytellers, each with generalist and specific skills in their respective fields. Their combined expertise ensures a holistic approach, balancing functionality, perspective, and aesthetics.

    We use the same artificial intelligence research tools that the industry’s advanced researchers use to expedite results with accuracy. Our teams validate and verify the research to focus support on your needs. Humans are strategic. AI is tactical.

  • Absolutely not. While we use powerful, leading-edge generative AI and research tools, we have dedicated human analysts reviewing and citing sources and references.

    We are also committed to the responsible engineering and use of AI-generated content and images, free of any copyright infringement, and we apply our own original art and science to provide concepts that meet your needs.

  • From Day 01, we listen. This is where the work begins to understand your journey, your ethos, and your values. Every step of the sprint is aligned to resonate with and amplify your unique voice, ensuring outcomes that are both innovative and authentic.

    If our Day 1 experience doesn’t inspire you to continue with your sprint, let us know before the end of our call and we’ll give you a full refund.

  • Absolutely! We believe in the longevity of our solutions. Post-sprint, typically after 30 days, we offer a review session to discuss outcomes and potential next steps. Additionally, we provide options for recurring monthly sprints as a subscription, ensuring you're fully equipped to capitalize on your sprint's results. We also have financial strategists that can provide an analysis of your budget strategy.

    Spacetime Sprints are a gateway to extraordinary breakthroughs.
