H2X Studio unveils the three renowned speakers set to appear at the upcoming rebranding event on December 12, 2025. These speakers will share profound insights into the philosophies and mindsets driving design and operations:
● **HUMAN:** Mr. Clive Randolph Gray—Design Director at Wilson Associates and Managing Director of Randolph Gray Design—will discuss the art of storytelling as an integral part of the customer experience. With a human-centric mindset, he has infused Randolph Gray Design with a core vision where architecture, proportion, and functionality transcend mere form to become keys to creating meaningful spaces.
● **HOSPITALITY:** International standards and design precision are the core focus of Mr. Kenneth Ha, Vice President of Design & Technical Services (Luxury, ASPAC) at Accor Group. A respected expert in the hospitality industry, he is the driving force behind the design and technical standards for Accor’s properties across the region.
● **EXPERIENCE:** The power of experience-driven design serves as the third pillar, presented by Mr. James Oliver Burton, Vice President of Asia at Sunset Hospitality Group. He brings over 20 years of experience in creating international hospitality, F&B, and entertainment concepts, underpinned by a sharp operational mindset.
This marks the foundation of H2X’s "Three Perspectives – Three Pillars" philosophy: Human, Hospitality, and Experience. H2X Studio is embarking on a new repositioning journey, led by the very people who define these new standards.
