Pum Lefebure On Designing Your Life So You Can Kick Ass
Designer and Thai expatriate Pum Lefebure will dissect and showcase examples of how she integrates a Thai sensibility with American design, connecting the East and the West, at a fascinating Speaker Session during ADFEST 2015.
On the 21st March 2015, Lefebure will present “Design Your Life So You Can Kick Ass 365”, examining what success and fulfillment really look like, and showing people how it’s possible to integrate your passion and creativity into everyday life to be a more motivating leader.
Lefebure is co-founder and chief creative officer of Design Army in Washington, D.C., and jury president of Design Lotus and Print Craft Lotus at ADFEST 2015.
“I was born and raised in Thailand, and my family still lives in Bangkok. As a kid growing up, my parents always encouraged me to draw and paint. Temples, Golden Chedi, Thai dance, textile design — they all contribute to my design aesthetic," she said.
