My Challenges
Ana Cecilia Santos
"No Pain, No Gain. "
Born & raised in the beautiful sea-side city of Porto, Portugal. Currently I'm a Service Design intern at Made by Many in London, as part of my last few months as a Digital Media student of Hyper Island.
I discovered OpenIDEO back in August 2010 during our introduction weeks at Hyper Island, in a workshop where we were given the Challenge of 'Raising kids awareness of the benefits of fresh food', my 1st challenge on this platform. Since then I became really absorbed by IDEO's ethos and began accompanying their work, representatives and publications quite closely.
My passion revolves around working with individuals that use design and real insights to innovate businesses, organizations and communities for the good of people. I want to contribute with making the world a better place. Bruce Mau's 'Incomplete Manifesto for Growth' is a big inspiration to me.

Spreading local patriotism through special Postage Stamps Competitions
Although sending physical mail is becoming less and less common, it is still widely used, especially in less developed areas. Why not turn it into something fun with a competition of stamp designs showing local heritage or gastronomy, ?
