|July 2024
Discovering design - In the bustling city-state of Singapore, where innovation meets tradition, the DesignSingapore Council announces the launch of its "People of Design" campaign.
-
This initiative is a vibrant celebration of the unsung heroes among us-those individuals who blend creativity with practicality to enhance our daily lives through thoughtful design. From local artisans to tech innovators, these everyday visionaries are the heartbeat of Singapore's thriving design ecosystem.
The campaign underscores the role of design beyond aesthetics, emphasising its importance as a crucial skill for navigating our increasingly complex world, fostering diverse career paths, and spurring cross-disciplinary collaborations. We speak with some of these visionary individuals whose stories are sure to inspire and may even spark your own design journey.
