Case Study: Telepathy achieves rapid high-fidelity app prototyping with Adobe XD (Adobe Creative Cloud)

Telepathy transforms UX design process and creates app prototype for 3D laser printer company Glowforge using Adobe XD CC

Telepathy, a San Diego UX agency, partnered with Glowforge — a company making consumer 3D laser printers — to design an iOS app that would let users control and prepare prints from mobile devices. The challenge was to produce a functional, high-fidelity prototype quickly, iterate collaboratively, and incorporate real user feedback on a tight timeline.

Using Adobe Creative Cloud—primarily Adobe XD CC with Illustrator, Photoshop, and Creative Cloud Libraries—Telepathy built and tested three high-fidelity prototypes, producing 19 iterations across ~80 artboards. The nimble, easy-to-learn tools let the team turn around functional prototypes in hours, gather real-time mobile feedback, and deliver three polished prototypes in three weeks, leaving Glowforge with reusable assets for ongoing development.
