In the past 15 years, we changed a lot the way we consume pieces of information, literally transforming the way we report the news or tell stories. The news today is more accessible to be consumed in many different ways, and we use a different approach to evaluate what we get: swipe up and get the point; play and get entertained; click, be informed and share, and much more.  In this episode I am talking with Al Luca, VP of Design at Axios, about his unexpected professional journey and what kind of role design has in the news & media industry.

Lantern, which calls itself “the single source of guidance for navigating life before and after a death,” saw a 123% increase in users, most of them under 45 during the COVID pandemic.   Lantern is the latest startup added to that category already identified by the New York Times as “Startups for the end of the life”. Still, it is also a sign of how the world of technology and innovation sees in what is recognized as the “Dying Well Movement” an opportunity. But let’s be clear, It’s a tricky opportunity for these start-ups to navigate. “When you have a brand that’s directly interfacing with people in the throes of loss and grief, you have to walk a fine line,” said Liz Eddy, 30, Lantern’s co-founder and chief executive officer.

It is about changes that emerged during the shelter-in-place time spent in the pandemic about our relationship with what we call home. So I decided to contact the team responsible for the project, not only to understand the purpose of the project but also for what discoveries they made, which could change the way we design for living spaces.
