Master Lecture Series

Sharing ideas and expertise in the design world

There is no greater inspiration for a design student than hearing a true master of the profession talking and interacting live about their work. The HKDI regularly invites art and design experts from many different backgrounds around the world to share their inspiration, experience, perspectives and cultural insights.
