Limkokwing University is known globally for blending creativity with industry-ready skills, and this session was no exception. At the 2025 #slinnovates: Digital Government Summit, their team delivered a hands-on masterclass that reframed design as strategy, not just aesthetics.
From brand storytelling to visual impact, participants were challenged to go beyond “making things look good”, and start designing with intention and clarity.
“Design must earn attention, not just take up space.”- Mr. Santigie Kamara, Lecturer, Faculty of Information, Communication, Technology, Limkokwing University.
