Innovative Education and Lifelong Learning

At nae Inc., we believe that learning is not a phase—it is a lifelong process.

And design has a unique role to play in reimagining how we learn, at every stage of life.

In today’s complex world, the ability to keep learning as an adult is becoming more essential than ever. We envision a society where people can grow by expanding their capabilities in alignment with their evolving interests. This also applies to children—who, from early childhood, should be able to explore deeply and confidently in the directions that spark their curiosity.

Design brings to education more than aesthetics—it brings a mindset.

As seen in innovative approaches like Reggio Emilia, the ability to observe, question, and reflect is core to learning. These skills are not just for children—they are vital throughout life.

We also see design as a method for framing and pursuing meaningful questions.

Beyond formal structures of teaching and instruction, learning is driven by curiosity, creativity, and the desire to act. Designers are trained to learn whatever tools are needed to bring their questions to life—and that posture can empower all kinds of learners.

At nae Inc., we are particularly passionate about child-centered education, and see it as one of the most important investments in the future.

By redesigning the way learning environments are shaped—at home, in schools, and in communities—we aim to contribute to a future where creativity, agency, and purpose are central to how we grow.
