Add Massive Value To The Product

A brilliant product touches on our inner needs, bridging emotional connections with a resonance and ripple effect. In an ever-more complicated society, products are about more than problem-solving, but also creating new values – brand images, trends, promotions of local culture, and the advocacy of sustainability and green practices. In this discussion, two award-winning designers – Thomas Wong of People On Board Boardgame LAB, and Rolland Cheung of Agape, a resin art brand – will share the secrets of designing products for value and creating unprecedented experiences for consumers.
