I’m Clara Vieira Rodrigues, a designer, researcher, consultant and design activist. I founded DESIGNEDIN (D!N) to put children’s rights, needs and voices at the heart of design, technology and education.
If you work with or for children and want to do it the right way — you’re in the right place.

I work with mission-driven organisations, schools, companies and creative teams to design products, services, experiences and spaces that genuinely serve children and young people. Ethically, inclusively and with rights at the core.

Why child-centred design matters?
“If children are not designed into our cities, they are designed out.” — George Monbiot
Children make up almost 30% of the world’s population and 100% of our future. Yet they are rarely consulted in the design of the products, spaces and systems that shape their daily lives.
Child-centred design goes beyond functionality. It’s a commitment to putting children’s needs, rights and experiences at the forefront of every decision — from technology to urban space, from education to digital products.
