PBS KIDS Go 2.0

“Big paper, big ideas,” as Chris Bishop often said, became the guiding principle for the PBS KIDS GO! redesign. The project carried an unprecedented 12-day timeline—rare for PBS KIDS but not unfamiliar to me, having worked under similarly demanding schedules before. The challenge centered on adapting immersive Flash-based experiences for a rapidly growing audience of children accessing content on their parents’ first-generation iPhones, which did not support Flash. The solution was to distill a complex interactive world into curated feature graphic grids, balancing creativity with the realities of emerging mobile technology.
