• The International Council of Design is an international professional design organisation, founded in 1963 in London with international secretariat based in Montreal, Canada.

​

• It promotes design excellence and upholds the importance of design as a key medium for progressive social change. I worked for Ico-D between 2007 and 2010 as a projects and partnership manager responsible for international design events: World Design Congress and Design Weeks in Beijing, Vancouver, Doha and Torino.

​

• While working for Ico-D (2007 -2010) I collaborated with many multidisciplinary designers and embraced the human centered design methods for my consecutive work.
