PLAYDESIGN

We collaborate with companies and institutions to identify, design and integrate elements of play. 

We transform behaviors, items and environments.

We do this because play builds motivation, fosters creativity, increases happiness, heightens engagement and makes people smile

A VALUE-FOCUSED APPROACH


We focus on strengthening the core values of our clients.

This is an important starting point for building loyalty and preference, and for enabling intrinsic motivation.

    PLAYPERSPECTIVES


    Our approach builds on two main activities; Understanding and Ideation.

    We strive to deliver transformations elicited by playful engagement, designed, developed and implemented in close collaboration with the relevant stakeholders. 

    As both a starting point and reference tool, we use our custom template 'Playperspectives'.

    This is a useful tool for unfolding the tension between structure and spontaneity inherent in play.
