What We Do

To develop products for kids, families, and schools amid giant social and cultural shifts, leaders need a clear perspective on how today’s kids, families, and educators’ needs and interests are shaping and the role they want to play: what products to design, how to grow, where to focus, and the trade-offs involved.

We help kids’ media, toy, and edtech companies to stay connected to their core users, KIDS, and to bring kids’ voices into their product development cycle. Design for the well-being of kids is at the core of our mission.
