" TO DESIGN IS TO CREATE MEANINGFUL VALUE VIA INSIGHTFUL SOLUTIONS "
KEVIN H.Y. LAM
My curiosity in design pushes me to explore both the breadth & depth of problems across multiple disciplines, spanning from Architecture, Industrial Design, UX Research, Strategic Foresight and practice of Design Thinking. This journey allows me to sees problems from multiple perspectives, landing on insights from micro to macro scales. Looking for solutions beyond the norm and push for disruptive transformations across functions, industries as well as different time horizons.
One of my key strength is developing various design frameworks such as strategic foresight innovation & value alignment. These methodologies had been refined during my master studies then integrated into practical consulting projects.
Ideally, these will be the cornerstones for the next paradigm shift, stepping towards the era of transitional design by enabling a decentralised approach that balance values between Users, Business & Environment, giving true meaning via insightful solutions.
