About us

Singapore Product Design began in 2022 as a way to bring people together around shared curiosity, creative exchange, and honest conversations about product design. The first sessions were small. A few people met online to sketch, write, and think out loud. We had no formal agenda but a desire to learn and to connect.

As Singapore reopened, our community grew alongside it. What started with ten designers has expanded into a collective of over 3,500 repeat event attendees. Some come to learn and network. Others come to speak, to share, or to give back.

The Singapore chapter is part of the broader Product Design Community, which includes a sibling chapter in Brooklyn, committed to building thoughtful, welcoming spaces where people can grow. We are a non-commercial, volunteer-run collective shaped by the people who show up, share their time, and give something back. We believe that thoughtful design deserves a thoughtful community behind it.

Our events are intentionally free or low-cost. We’ve partnered with generous hosts and sponsors to keep the momentum going and provide the spaces to create room for reflection, celebration, and experimentation. Learn more about partnering with us.
