Carla Mayumi is a Director of Innovation at Box 1824, a research and innovation company based in Brazil. Carla was a speaker at TEDx Amazon in 2010 where she spoke about how building emotional and social bridges is important in a country of differences such as Brazil. In 2011 she was at a panel about Brazil at the Tech Summit right after SXSW. Among her most relevant projects is a research called "Brazilian Dream", a 2-year project, non-profit, that studied the relationship of Brazilian youth and the country, at a very special moment of optimism and economic boost. She was also the founder of a qualitative online research company in 2009. Having a strong personal interest for everything that concerns behavioral changes provoked by the internet and digital life, she manages to balance a very digital life herself and her passion for something extremely handmade and "analogical" such as knitting. She is proud to say she is a knitting activist in São Paulo, Brazil.

Technology, interesting SXSW,
