BIOGRAPHY

Mohd. Redzwan HIsham BIDIN , Senior Lecturer, School of Architecture, Building and Design at Taylor’s University 

IDr Mohd Redzwan HIsham b. BIDIN registered with the Board of Architects Malaysia (LAM) as a registered Interior Designer (LAM/ID M65). Graduated from UiTM (2007, 1994) and Middlesex University, UK (1997); his previous workplaces as an Interior Designer in Kumpulan Jetson, Graham Taylor Design, Sunway Design, KaSUGI Prima, and as the head of Design in PETROSAINS Science Gallery, KLCC. He also has worked at previous institutions among them LIMKOKWING University, UCSI University, and some others. Professional experience gained within varied job functions and responsibilities, mainly within interior design, graphic design practices, exhibition design, and design-based education. 

Believes that it takes a human-centered, design-based approach to help the community and the environment to innovate and grow. If we do not take good care of what we do today; there will be a ‘boomerang’ effect on our future generation. We should propose alternatives and not just find solutions; identify new ways to serve and support people by uncovering latent needs, behaviors, and desires. We should envision new ideas, and design products, services, spaces, and experiences that bring them to life - help to build creative culture and systems required to sustain innovation and launch new ventures.
