The Children's Product Experience with Doug Collins - Sustainable toys

Doug Collins joins Geoff to talk about the careful balance between designing for customers versus users, but in this case, the customers being parents and users being their children. Listen in to how we can "keep the good moving forward."

Highlights include:

💡 What factors go into "good" products made for kids?
💡 Is there such a thing as "ethical consumerism"?
💡 How does the loss of a tactile toy shopping impact the experience?
💡 What is "Hanlon's Razor" and how does it relate to addictive toy design?
💡 How can we encourage educationally-constructive curiosity and sustainability?
