William giving us a backstage tour of PMQ

As the creative brains behind PMQ, and for 9 years Business of Design Week (BoDW), William is a major pusher for the great strides made in the HK creative scene the past decade. Thank you William for the lunch and a private behind-the-scene tour of PMQ! We were inspired with many takeaways — from the importance of having a sound business model for designers, to how creativity does magic for businesses (how did a social enterprise like PMQ get millions of visitors in a few months? hint: French artist Paulo Grangeon’s 1600 pandas).
