Recently, my office was invited to a Galvin x Dementia Australia collaboration event that involves designers to experience the varying symptoms of dementia. As Australia is known for its aging population, dementia is now listed as the main cause of death in the country. “Dementia describes a collection of symptoms caused by disorders affecting the brain. Dementia is not a normal part of getting older, and it isn’t one specific disease. Instead, it’s a broad term that covers the effects on people of a number of different medical conditions.” (Dementia Australia, 2026).
