Aging Observatory was founded by Abraham Espinosa, a designer, strategist, and researcher. His work has spanned financial services, civic innovation, and technology strategy, with a consistent focus on how design decisions shape people’s lives over time.

After more than two decades across global organizations and independent practice, Abraham founded Aging Observatory to bring ethnographic research closer to the design process—focusing on how people grow older and how societies can design more thoughtfully for future aging populations.

The Observatory operates as a distributed research practice, working with ethnographers, designers, social scientists, and community-based researchers who contribute local knowledge to longitudinal studies across contexts. It is supported by senior advisors who help ensure methodological rigor and ethical grounding as the practice develops.

Aging Observatory is designed to grow carefully and steward knowledge that supports more humane and inclusive approaches to policy, design, and innovation.
