We’re excited to announce the judging panel of the 2012 Launch Pad program.
May 8th, 2012
The Launch Pad program returns in 2012, a literal launch pad for developing designers to put forth their concept and prototypes in a bid to have their designs realised.
This year the Launch Pad program is welcoming to the panel a group of 7 highly acclaimed judges representing a broad spectrum of design specialties and areas of expertise, to come together and review the 2012 Launch Pad entries.
The Judging panel will select a list of finalists to show their work in the Launch Pad Finalists’ Exhibition as part of Saturday in Design Melbourne (18 – 19 August 2012).
This year’s entrants have put their designs in the spotlight, right under the noses of the who’s who of design.
We would like to extend a warm welcome, and special thanks (in advance!), to this year’s Launch Pad judging panel. Meet them below…
