UX | 2017

​

Designing for kids who can't read yet changes everything. A Canadian studio built the foundations of Nat Geo Kids (a video and games app for children aged 4 to 8) from the show footage. My part was reviewing navigation and experience decisions: how content was grouped and surfaced so that contrast, shapes and visual hierarchy could work without a single word. Legal restrictions for children's content added another layer.

And there were two audiences: the kid navigating and the adult sitting beside them.

 

​​What I took from this project was a true sense of responsibility: reviewing a product that, given its legal implications, could have no cracks.
