Why Most Prototypes Fail (And Why That’s Okay)
Prototypes aren’t supposed to be perfect. They are meant to teach you what works and what doesn’t. Whether it’s a 3D-printed model or something held together with tape, each version is a chance to learn, improve, and move closer to a design that really clicks. Failure isn’t the end of the process. It’s how great ideas take shape.
