Together with Covid-19, the world we’ve known rapidly changed. Staying motivated and creative during these unprecedented times was not easy. But maybe experiencing the world in a new way and using creativity as a way of coping with all the stress and lockdowns were opening up new possibilities?
“ …Things were tough, uncertain and blurry. It was hard to be positive and feel motivated. There were some days I doubted myself and what I’m doing.
But between these bad days, there were also good days that I felt hopeful for the future, chose to focus on creativity, and used design as a tool to transform the negative into positive…”
As Fulden Dehneli, the Founder of f u l d e n d e, mentioned above, there is always hope and “design” can easily lead the way to find a beacon of hope for a brighter and better future.
One of the very first projects that is designed during these extraordinary times was GĀDO & KEN, a product duo for #Covid19 protection. Another product, named MICO, is a more recent project that is not officially launched yet (stay tuned for that one.)
And what is common between these two? They both won a Red Dot Design Award!
4000+ entries over 50 countries. Only 319 of them were awarded and 2 of these winner designs belong to me. Wow!
I’m really grateful for this recognition and achievement.
Although it was not possible to meet in Singapore face to face, the celebrations were still festive! See the movie below :)
