A signature design lens
Wonder is not decoration. It is a design decision.
The Maralune Design Move Framework turns four human needs—wonder, belonging, agency, and confidence—into concrete choices teams can use to examine and reshape a child’s experience.
The question beneath the work
“What will children experience—not merely what did adults plan?”
The framework anchors reviews, sprints, workshops, and future studio tools so the work becomes recognizable, reusable, and practical.
