The Refinement Stage is a necessary step in which quick concept sketches are transformed into solid, resolved design solutions. With a combined effort of designers and engineers, the details of each design are fleshed out. Factors such as material choice, production cost, production methods, and price points are strongly taken into consideration at this time.

As concepts evolve into actionable opportunities, each idea is repeatedly checked against the original design criteria defined in the Assessment Stage. Each detailed, resolved idea is presented with compelling digital visualizations and/or physical models.
