So how can you have precision while hand drawing without spending a ton of time measuring everything with a ruler\u2014and often losing the idea flow because you\u2019re too focused on the details? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ponoko.com\/laser-cutting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Laser cut<\/a> stencils to the rescue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may think that stencils are only for arts and crafts projects. Sure, they\u2019re great for crafty applications, but they have a right-and-proper place within the business world, too. To see why, check out how two companies\u2014BlastPoint and Tiny House Design\u2014incorporate stencils into their workflow to build a better customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BlastPoint: Wireframing Interaction Screens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a third-generation maker, Alison Alvarez has followed in her mother\u2019s and grandmother\u2019s footsteps by making things as long as she can remember. Currently, as the co-founder and CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/blastpoint.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">BlastPoint<\/a>, she and her team build software that makes big data accessible and affordable for everyone through interactive maps. Her days may be spent surrounded by tech, but that doesn\u2019t mean that her maker\u2019s eye won\u2019t spot a making opportunity when one presents itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though BlastPoint is a software company, they put a lot of stock into customer interviews and paper prototyping. As such, the company\u2019s CTO can often be found using Post-it Notes for creating paper prototypes in his notebook. <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@EChesters\/prototyping-with-sticky-notes-774c778301f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Prototyping with sticky notes<\/a> is popular and can be quite effective, but this method wasn\u2019t working 100% because the notes were slightly too small for his liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy CTO is especially keen on drawing out\ninteraction screens in his research notebook,\u201d Alison says. \u201cI designed the\nstencil so that he would have a rectangle to use to fill up a page quickly.
