Welcome to the Prototyping Network

Hito has product concepts in various phases of development. If you’re a bonsai practitioner who’s interested in being part of providing feedback, testing prototypes, or other opportunities in the design process please complete this form.

Especially of interest are enthusiasts who specialize in specific species or styles of bonsai. Hito values the dialogue and iteration with you as a subject matter expert.

After completing the form, you should receive a confirmation email. Hito will get in touch as project needs come up and coordinate what’s most convenient based on what the project is.

Some common needs in the design process include:

Discovery Phase

  • Interviews on specific topics

  • Fly on the wall observations (like repotting etc.)

  • Pain point identification

  • Surveys

Development Phase

  • Concept feedback

  • Testing prototypes
