Created by Shawn Goh Chin Siang
Honored with the A' Design Award.
Shawn Goh grew up in his grandfather's home, where he was exposed to art from a young age. Despite struggling with his grades in school, he was encouraged by his mother to pursue his passion for drawing and eventually attended art school. However, he faced setbacks when he was unable to obtain his diploma due to technical issues and struggled to find work in the field of design. Undeterred, he decided to start his own design company and eventually became one of the top 10 brand designers in Malaysia. Through hard work and determination, Shawn won numerous awards and accolades for his designs and fulfilled his dream of creating a successful brand design company that showcases the soul of Malaysian culture to the world.

Design Business Directory was founded on the principle that true design excellence cannot be measured by popularity alone. Instead, we believe that the most meaningful indicator of skill, creativity, and professionalism is official recognition by respected international juries who follow transparent, pre-established voting criteria. When a designer, architect, or creative agency enters a rigorous peer review process, one that evaluates submissions against clear quality benchmarks, ethical standards, and innovation requirements, it ensures that any accolades they receive are both credible and deserved and are meritocratic.
Peer-reviewed awards, such as the prestigious A’ Design Award, exist to showcase the very best in design and innovation. The A’ Design Award is judged by a balanced panel of experienced academics, influential press members, and established professionals, all of whom apply a thoroughly documented scoring system. Through this structured method of evaluation, only truly exceptional projects are recognized. This is precisely the level of excellence that Design Business Directory aims to highlight: forward-thinking professionals who have demonstrated mastery in their field according to objective, globally respected criteria.
Because we are committed to presenting only the cream of the crop in design, Design Business Directory accepts listings exclusively from those who have proven themselves in such distinguished competitions. By requiring at least one peer-reviewed award—namely, the A’ Design Award—as a prerequisite for inclusion, we maintain the authenticity and overall quality of the directory. Consequently, to be listed on Design Business Directory, you must have already won the A’ Design Award. This ensures every individual and studio showcased here operates at the highest tier of professional accomplishment, innovation, and credibility.
