In this episode, we welcome Professor Sonia Livingstone with Kruakae Pothong from the London School of Economics, also involved in Playful By Design. The discussion focuses on childhood development and incorporating design into children's lives.

Kruakae, originally from Thailand and with a background in journalism, highlights her shift to research at the intersection of policies, technologies, and society.

Sonia, a social psychologist, shares her journey of exploring how children engage with the digital world and her involvement with the Five Rights Foundation, aiming to improve the digital space for kids.

The conversation touches on design thinking, the collaborative efforts of the guests, and the role of design in shaping children's experiences in the digital world.

A really enjoyable chat with our guests Sonia and Kruakae, thanks for joining us.
