Design Thinking
for Makers!

5. Elda Maria Webb – The Curious Design Network
She has a curious mind, and is always wandering they
whys around her. When confronted with challenges
instead of saying "well, that's life", you will hear her saying
"No!,there has to be a better answer to this". She sees a
great creative potential in Singapore that needs to be
unleashed. Today is a very exciting day because she can
see how things have grown at the Maker fair. She is also
taking a big step today and from being a volunteer in the
past, now she decided to help us discover the maker in us.
Hoping that next year we can see more makers in the next
Singapore Mini Maker Fair.

11. Ng Pan Yew – Electronics hobbyist
As an electronics and hands-on hobbyist, I has built and created numerous
electronics-related stuff. Recently, I start to build something that has Local
content
I have always been fascinated with the vibrancy and attractiveness of Marina
Bay's cityscape. This motivated me to embark on creating a mini-LED light display
of Marina Bay, so as to showcase and bring out its beauty to be admired by
viewers. Many of Singapore's iconic structures - the Merlion, Singapore Flyer and
Esplanade, just to name a few - are located in Marina Bay. They are depicted in
this LED light display, and operate in sync with your choice of music!
Beside this I also build Dancing ball @ garden by the bay and Song of the Sea
model.

24. What I've learned so far...
• It's never too late to start tinkering
• Making stuff is much easier than it used to be
• Projects have a way of growing...
• Going it alone is slow (and less fun)
• If at first you don't succeed, stop

54. Christine Beh - Leathercraft
Xiaomi the founder is a typical Kampung girl who had spent her
childhood in the little mountain away from concrete jungle. Natural
surrounding like waterfall, bird singing, dog barking and children
laughter in these day younger generation can never experience but she
had spent her 18 years growing up from the tranquil forest.
DREAMs to reality when she had her 1st baby girl in year 2012. The
exciting experience of the baby girl arrival has reminded of her
childhood dream when at the age of 14, the same feeling she had
when she make her first handmade bag from her old torn jeans.
It’s time she decided to continue her passion of making handbag, not
from her old torn jeans anymore but genuine leather, that’s the story
began of Xiaomi’s Handmade Leather Bag.
