Designing a Wallet – Prototype Process

Paper mockup for a hybrid bifold wallet with an extended flap like a trifold. Planning size and function before crafting in leather. Why Start with Paper? A paper prototype is more than a draft—it's where questions take shape, proportions are tested, and function is challenged. It allows me to explore ideas freely, adjust dimensions without waste, and refine the design before touching the final material. It’s a quiet but essential step that honors both the craft and the user.
