This is a follow-up to Episode 16: How Singapore’s public transports design for dementia" where we caught up with Emily Ong who was heavily involved in the designing of Find Your Way initiative. Emily, who is living with onset dementia, responded to our critics (+ knocked some sense into us), shared with us behind the scenes and how she and the team arrived at their designs, what's next in the initiative, plus how it's like living with dementia in Singapore.

We truly learnt so much in a mere 1 hour chat with her and can't wait to share this with you! Highly recommend you to listen through Episode 16 first :)
psst. Emily recently launched a new book "Voices of Asia", a collection of stories from those living with dementia in Southeast Asia.
