I’m Ana Cecilia, Born & raised in beautiful Porto, Portugal. Currently I’m working at Made by Many as a Service Designer. In June this year I graduated from the Digital Media program at Hyper Island in Stockholm. This blog started as a way to document my journey as a Hyper Island student and my learnings & experiences. I’ve continued to use it as a means to explore and document my surroundings and things that inspire me.

The overall goal of the evening seemed to be about generating interesting thoughts and discussion about Aging2’s goal:</p> <blockquote> <p>“<em><span>Aging2.0 is a global network of innovators who are collaborating to accelerate business innovation for the 50+ market. Our goal is to improve the aging experience and quality of life for older adults around the world. “</span></em></p> </blockquote> <p>Me and <a href="http://twitter.com/kirsty_joan" target="_blank">Kirsty</a> were very welcomed when we first set foot inside the small lecture space inside the Design Council, and were greeted by <a href="http://twitter.com/sdbj" target="_blank">Stephen</a> from Aging2.o who was moderating the event.</p> <p><em>Just before the speakers took the stage, everyone in the room was asked to introduce themselves in a short sentence, asying what they do and where they work etc. I thought this was such a nice detail, that really adds to creating a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. </em></p> <p>I really, really, enjoyed the event and listening about what great things are being made to help support the aging population and people with dementia. I hope there are more of these events in the future.</p> <p>I don’t have my notebook with me at this moment, but tomorrow I’ll upadte this post with my most memorable phrase from the night.
