12 Years of UnitedMake: A Multi-Disciplinary Design Practice

Come celebrate over a decade of creative design magic with UnitedMake’s unique multidisciplinary journey.

What does it mean to build a design practice in an age where the boundaries between architecture, art, technology, and storytelling are dissolving?

Over the past twelve years, UnitedMake has evolved from an experimental studio into a multidisciplinary practice working across public art, spatial design, furniture, and interactive installations. This talk traces the key projects that have shaped our direction, projects that challenged us to rethink materials, scale, narrative, and the role of design itself.

Through this relaxed talk, Founder Mond Qu will share how UnitedMake approaches design as a process of discovery, where materials becomes a medium for memory, data becomes spatial, and objects become vessels for meaning.

The talk will unpack how ideas emerge, how constraints shape outcomes, and how working across disciplines allows new forms of thinking to take root. It will also look forward: toward a practice increasingly shaped by emerging technologies, environmental responsibility, and the desire to create work that resonates both culturally and emotionally.

This is a reflection on twelve years of making, and an open invitation to imagine what the next twelve might become.
