OUR CO-DESIGN MODEL IS UNIQUELY TEEN-CENTERED. WE USE IT TO ENSURE YOUR PRODUCT OR EXPERIENCE IS TEEN-CENTERED TOO.

Designing meaningful products and experiences for teens demands a holistic understanding of them, not just as users or consumers, but as dynamic and developing people. The iThrive co-design model, an innovative, strengths-based UX research method, helps your team arrive at this understanding, generate new ideas, and design in response to teens' expressed preferences and unrealized social and emotional needs.
Through a blend of game design and social and emotional learning activities devised by teen mental health and learning experts, the iThrive co-design model goes beyond typical discovery research activities like contextual inquiry and surveys by amplifying and integrating teen voice, setting the scene for the design of transformative, teen-centered products and experiences.

We bring this UX research method to your brainstorming efforts, helping your team answer key questions like: What do teens want and need in a product or experience? What teen-centered and teen-serving improvements to our product or experience should we prioritize? Where are the opportunities to support our work and teen wellness in goal-aligned ways? What is the best way to communicate our message to teens? How do teens currently think and feel about our ideas?

THE NUANCE THAT COMES FROM THE ITHRIVE CO-DESIGN MODEL HELPS YOUR TEAM DISCOVER SOLUTIONS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR INNOVATION. THE EXPERIENCE THAT CO-DESIGNING CREATES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IS AFFIRMING, PLAYFUL, AND SUPPORTIVE OF THEIR CREATIVITY, WELLNESS, AND CURIOSITY.
