Hey everyone! It's been some time!

If you're active in Singapore's design community space for a while, Kiat shouldn't be a foreign name to you. Following a recent heartfelt email on the closure of IxDA meet-ups, we sat down with the man himself for a casual chat! Kiat took the chance to look back at the past 11 years and shed his true feelings around organising IxDA meet-ups in Singapore. We also got a tiny peak into what's next for IxDA - exciting times ahead!

Apart from all the impressive contributions for IxDA, Kiat also share his experiences as a product designer. If you have ever used Hardware Zone, news flash - your experience may be shaped by him!

Seriously ah, day 4 of Kiasu Design Life is jam packed with golden nuggets of wisdom and we couldn't wait for you to join us on this truly enjoyable ride. (We recommend you pair this episode with your favourite version of kopi and some kaya toast).
