Mario Van der Meulen discovers, designs and delivers experience design principles. Formerly as creative director at
Frog, and currently as a Principal Designer at
Foolproof, he is an ambidextrous designer-strategist with over 25 years of international experience, based in Singapore. In our design-by-humans-for-humans world, he works to dispel the misconceptions about how breakthrough ideas for meaningful innovation are made. By offering range, from product-centric to a systems view, he helps people come together, work together, create together and change the world.
Driven by the belief that people ignore design that ignores people, he leads an innovation process where each participant can find the right conversation, the right advice, the right mind-meld, at the right time for the right reasons.
Mario helps corporations find short-term wins and long-term growth by cultivating decision intelligence, providing expertise in insights, strategy, trends, and creativity. In 2010, CBS Weekly recognised Mario as “One of Fifty Innovation Design Pioneers in China”. A recent Foolproof project received the 2018 IDC Smart City Asia Pacific Awards (SCAPA). An avid keynote speaker, workshop facilitator and a writer on Creativity, Change and Design Mindset, he has delivered over 250 speeches and creative sessions in over 20 countries on 5 continents.
