What are the challenges?

What are the challenges?

Designing for kids demands greater empathy to fulfill their unique needs. Since they might not comprehend text as adults do, we simplify our visual and auditory cues for easy understanding.


Given enough time, going through multiple iterations is really worthwhile. Every time we do user-testing, it's amazing how we always end up discovering something new and learning from it.

Designing for kids demands greater empathy to fulfill their unique needs. Since they might not comprehend text as adults do, we simplify our visual and auditory cues for easy understanding.


This project is supposed to be created for the future and unleash my creativity.
