Leandro Porras is a service design strategist who has worked on several projects involving personas, system redesign, and multidisciplinary teams. Some of the projects include developing a dog sharing service using a persona in Berlin, redesigning the network structure of a Chamber of Commerce in Greece, and creating a food sharing service in Italy to promote cultural integration. He emphasizes the importance of user research, prototyping solutions, and bringing together expertise from different disciplines to develop holistic services.

Berlin, Germany
8. The Brief:
- Create a service in 48 hours that
will change the world.
Global Service Jam
Our approach was to discover how
people think, act and feel about it
through face-to-face interviews.
I want to feel at home everywhere
- Potential User
9. The Methodology
With the help of Martina (our
persona) we were able to focus our
findings and thus come up with
a solution to address her needs: a
dog sharing service.
The proposed solution turned out
to be valid for a broad segment of
people.
10. The Output
testing the service to understand how the actors interact

12. The Brief
- We were given a very specific
brief to tackle these tasks: creating
a fan club, and member categories.
Cyclades Chamber of Commerce
We realized that without changing
the core structure of the organisa-tion,
none of the solutions were to
have a real impact.
Im a member of the network but I dont know anything about it
