The theme of the conference (IgnitePortugal) at Audax/ISCTE was Cultural Entrepreneurship and Creative Industries and I was invited to talk about one of my latest personal projects – toyno.
The drawing is from Vanessa Silva, she is part of this wonderful project called livescketching.

If your curious about the presentation have a look (portuguese only). I’ve tried to show the students that you don’t need that much money to create a new project.
Ok, I have to admit…it helps having some designers in the startup team!

Football is for everyone. By the end of the month these amazing girls will be on national TV.
Yes, Portugal eliminated Holland a few days ago but the color of the t-shirts was already chosen! Pure coincidence (;

It’s my pleasure to announce that the “fishing for ideas” project is among the best service/business design work selected for the final exhibition of 23rd Biennial of Design International – Museum for Architecture and Design in Ljubljana – Slovenia.
From around 450 entries we are in the run for the final award among other 90 candidates. It will be difficult since this is a contest with tradition in product design…still, it’s an honor to have the opportunity to be there to talk about our project, to be in the official design book and, most important, seeing our work being recognized as truly innovative.

We’ve applied for the “Globalisation” – Social Local (Categorie) and here are a a few words from the curators:
” Selected works for the BIO 23 exhibition show an impulse of how designers and the works they create are influenced by modern technologies, digitalisation and new technologies. Other selected works show contemporary designers embracing the resourcefulness of nature and its processes, while others display an amazing capability to use technology.”

Tiago is in Australia “being great”. This is your recognition. Thanks for those great months and we will work again in the future I’m sure.
Thanks also to all the people who helped us during this process. Online and Offline.

One of the most most inspiring talks I’ve seen.
