Expertise
What brought you to sustainability?

My career path has naturally led me to sustainability.

  • 2010: As a Kampung Manager, I inspired people to visit a 10-acre land in a village near Johor Bahru, Malaysia. At Kampung Temasek, we exposed Singaporeans to the essence of living in harmony with nature.
  • 2012: My role as a Nature Guide with the Nature Society involved educating students about forests and coastal ecosystems, sparking my inspiration from nature.
  • 2013: I initiated Ecosystem, a coworking space near Bugis, dedicated to environmental startups and organizations, fostering connections and collaborations.
  • 2014: I crafted planters for schools and managed another coworking space for makers and carpenters, partnering with a pallet wood company to create recycled wood furniture.

Currently, my paramount goal is to design a better life for people and the planet. I believe my journey towards biophilia was not accidental but a natural affinity.

Which sustainable actions are you in charge of or have you implemented in your organisation?

At Humankind Design, we constantly reimagine work by aligning our purpose, values, and vision. This approach guides our search for new team members and partners, fostering a value-driven work environment.

By the end of 2024, we aim to understand and minimize our carbon footprint (Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions). We're also collaborating with experts to design holistic business models for organizations seeking transformation.

Which challenges did you meet and how did you overcome them?

One of our greatest challenges is fostering meaningful, long-term collaborations. While we share common missions, aligning different priorities remains a complex task.

We are still unraveling this puzzle, focusing on clear mission design and alignment for organizational partnerships.

Could you explain to us your company name?

At Humankind Design, we're driven by the belief that design can accelerate human advancement. Our approach to problem-solving is both meaningful and strategic.
