KICK-START OF HKDI DESIS LAB GRADUATE TRAINEE PROGRAME AND NEW TEAM MEMBERS

Welcome Katie Wong, Wong Kay Yee (HKDI Graduate HD in Jewellery Design and Technology, 2013) and Rowena Ho, Sin Ying (HKDI Graduate HD in Interior Design, 2013). They are the first batch of graduates joining the HKDI DESIS Lab Graduate Trainee Programme. The programme aims to provide HKDI graduates with a platform to prototype their social design ideas, supported by funding to showcase their projects to the public. More importantly, they are invited to work as the core team members of the lab where they will receive mentorship by the key design researchers and therefore have the opportunity of developing international networks, and learning the action research methodology for their future endeavours.  We would also like to welcome Tuhlis Ip, Fung Yi and Kenneth Siu, Wai Keung, our new project officers. Both new members are Social Sciences graduates and because of their academic background, they will be involved in the social design research projects, besides giving administrative support to the Lab.
