LEADING CIRCLES_DESIGN IN SINGAPORE

In this Leading Circles session, Justin Fantastic, Khai Seng Hong and Regine Abos set the scene with their perspectives on how design builds positive transformation socially, economically and in-place.

They will then throw out a provocation to the audience to take the conversation on and extend it into our practices. We will explore these ideas in breakout rooms of six people.

Bring your own insights, imagination and ideas to the fore in this interactive engagement.

Justin Fantastic is a transdisciplinary practitioner who uses design as a catalyst for systems change, philanthropy, and organisational transformation. His work spans the intersection of design, technology, policy, youth and family cultures, and education, where creativity becomes infrastructure for trust, equity, and long-term impact.

Khai Seng Hong founded Studio Dojo to explore the integration of design, futures thinking, leadership and organisation development in service of bringing more life into organisations and systems. He also volunteers his time with the design community and is currently the President of the Design Business Chamber Singapore.

Regine Abos [Host] is a Melbourne-based designer, educator, and researcher originally from Cebu. Over the past two decades, she has collaborated with publishers and social innovation organisations throughout Australia, Europe and the Asia Pacific.
