LEAH YEUNG

Leah’s background is in lifestyle and entertainment television as a producer/production manager. In her most recent role she worked in a membership based organisation as a content and event director and is looking forward to applying those lessons and skills to drive the guild’s goals!

A MESSAGE FROM THE OUTGOING BUSINESS MANAGER

Dear Members and Friends,

Next Tuesday I celebrate 5 years with the APDG and on Friday I hang up my hat. Over the last half a decade I have not only been continuously impressed by the work you produce, but in awe of how much time, energy and effort so many of you contribute to the design community and the screen and live performance industries.

Over the years I have come to know many of you and have very much enjoyed many of our conversations (not so much the complaints, but one takes the good with the bad). May the next 5 years and beyond be filled with new initiatives, continued growth, and more celebrations of design. I wish you all the best with your careers, your aspirations and I look forward to seeing more amazing work by the thriving design community that is the APDG.
