The first thing Mel Lim will tell you is “Dream Bigger.” She exhorts her clients to reach beyond the known, imagine inconceivable possibilities and think and problem-solve in a dimensional, if not multi-dimensional way. An award-winning designer, innovation strategist, and tech nerd, Mel is a force of nature with a tiny voice. Yet she will excitedly weave you a story of how discipline, craftsmanship, and limitless imagination opened the doors to all that she loves and finds inspiring: fashion, hand work, architecture, math, storytelling, theoretical physics, innovation, problem-solving, human advancement and opportunities to create not just a better world, but a multiverse of better worlds. Mel views the world mindfully and meticulously through multiple lenses. She seeks patterns and builds foundations and dimensional spaces using color, shapes, form, textures, and structure. She takes her ideas and her clients to surprising, delightful, and visionary places, challenging us not to be limited by everything we think we already know and broadening our perspective and understanding of the dimensions of space, time, and infinite possibility.

Not only is Mel Lim at home in the world, but she also wants to enrich it and make it a place where everyone can aspire and reach for their highest potential. This Malaysian-born and raised design leader and author traversed geographical and cultural boundaries, language barriers, and financial challenges to pursue her dreams and bring her thought leadership to the world. Passionate about creating meaningful work that improves the quality of life worldwide, Mel’s award-winning projects, product/service innovations, and strategic vision have impacted millions in the United States, London, Tokyo, Spain, Copenhagen, and the UAE. With optimism, enthusiasm, and compassion as crucial drivers, Mel invites others to grow and stretch toward extraordinary possibilities and opportunities.
