Susana has great inciative! When I speak to her she's always about to try out a new workshop method or group interaction activity. Always interested in working with someone and something new. I met her at a thinkpublic portfolio session in London and as I returned to Portugal a year after her, I was amazed to find that she had created a whole new and innovative network of people who had a common interest in Portugal, Lisbon: Service Design. She invited me to speak on one of those sessions along side ANA Airports Project Speaker (and others) in 2011 as well as handed me the oportunity to create invites for Service Design sessions holding big names in the area, a way to promote national illustrators - she said. Having said that, I look forward to work with her again.

Susana is one of the most complete and rounded designers I ever worked with. She has expanded the limits of design based on a strong concept of life, ethics and people, without ever ceasing to be a designer. Full of ideas, yet capable of getting them off the ground, Susana is a joyful and skilful thinker and doer, a pleasure to work with!

      MyWishGuru is a Social Network that allows to create wishes, share them with your friends on facebook and keep track of them on your wishboard. All of us wish for things we could achieve and goals we could attain. Most of these wishes and goals are never reached for a variety of reasons, amongst which are social distractions, poor organizational tools and lack of sincere encouragement. We help people to solve this problem with a web and mobile application called Mywishguru. It helps users to frame vague wishes as achievable personal objectives, break them down into incremental steps and focus on achieving them socially – this is, with the help, guidance and encouragement of their friends. They can capture this journey in one place and share it across their social networks without ever losing any of the feedback which the sharing of their journey generates. All this information in one place tells the world a unique and original story. http://www.mywishguru.com/
