How Kids Changed the Way We Design for Adults

Friday, March 13
5:00PM - 6:00PM

JW Marriott
Salon D
110 E 2nd St

Kids don’t have patience for user experience research. They don’t care what your marketing team wants, and they won’t make an effort to please your developers. They’re not loyal to your brand. And, of course, the youngest among them can’t even read.

But rather than thinking that kids are clueless, we need to view them as a clue to designing better digital products and services for people of all ages. After all, don’t your users sound a lot like the description above? Adults are also impatient, uncooperative, unloyal, and can — but won’t — read information on a screen!

By adapting your research and design processes to align with the preferences, cognitive abilities, social skills, and attention spans of kids — you’ll be better armed to create innovative, intuitive, and delightful products and services for adults.

This session will show you how to evolve your methodologies and take advantage of an emerging set of digital design principles inspired by today’s youngest users.
