Child Centered Design:
Build great experiences for young learners.
In 24 HOURS, your product can be in the hands of a struggling student.
In 1 WEEK, you will know your product’s pain points with teachers and students.
In 1 MONTH, you will know exactly how to improve your product with feedback from students.
Prototyping is always important, especially with children.
Over the last 15 years, we have developed an approach specifically to understanding and designing for children.
Representation
The kids who you are serving need to be a core part of your design process. We partner with the Boys & Girls Club to hear from all students, especially students who are one to three years behind in school, who are disproportionately Black and Hispanic.
Measurement
Using eye tracking and emotional sensors Dr. Hedman invented at MIT, we visualize children’s experiences and help kids describe their stories.
Iteration
We specialize in rapid prototyping: building, testing, and refining products on a weekly cycle. Students’ needs seamlessly translate to new product features.
We’ve partnered with:
“Elliott has the unique ability to communicate with children on their own terms and turn what they tell him into clear, meaningful, and inspiring direction towards concept development.”
