“People of Design” honours the everyday visionaries among us who are making meaningful contributions to society through design. They come from all walks of life, and share a collective aspiration to make things better. Delve into their stories for an intimate glimpse into how they are using design to create a positive impact.
Turning traditional medical care on its head, Dr Wong Sweet Fun has dedicated her career to discovering more resonant ways to enhance health for Singapore’s seniors. Although she was not trained as a designer, she has harnessed a systemic outlook and design research methods, and led the way to the Communities of Care framework that reflects the national agenda for preventative health.
Why fix a process that isn’t broken? What if innovating could solve an adjacent problem and add value? Oh Chu Xian, the young CEO of deep-tech startup Magorium, has found creative ways to deal with plastic waste. She’s done so in the most unlikely of contexts: road construction.
For over 30 years, and despite the digital revolution, the creatively inclined have ridden the escalators of the Bras Basah Complex to a mecca of design on the fourth floor. Basheer Graphic Books is much more than a retail business. Owner Abdul Nasser has nurtured a space where personal connections, discovery, and learning shape creative careers.
We are on the lookout for compelling stories of everyday people who are championing design in their own unique ways. They don’t necessarily need to be trained in design or work as designers; they simply need to demonstrate a passion for making everyday lives better! Know someone like that? Or maybe that person is you? Submit your stories to us for a chance to be featured!
Design is much more than a professional skill – it is a spirit of innovation that shapes our world and influences how we interact with it. Explore the stories of Singaporeans who are making a difference to everyday lives through design.
Since 2003, the DesignSingapore Council (Dsg) has supported designers and helped people use creative thinking to empower businesses, nurture talent, and inspire communities. To mark its 20th anniversary, we share with you the stories of designers who have journeyed with us to make life #BetterbyDesign.
