Collaborative sketching brings the entire design team together to generate and share visual ideas simultaneously, rather than having one designer work alone and present to the group. The act of drawing together in the same room creates a shared visual vocabulary, accelerates alignment, and surfaces more diverse ideas than any sequential presentation-and-feedback process. It is one of the fastest ways to explore a design space and build genuine team ownership of a direction.
