The Purpose-Driven Startup: Turning a Vision into a Movement
With Sem Lee, Founder of OURI Labs & Shape Programme Graduate
Sem Lee’s career has been anything but linear from interior and spatial design to impact-driven entrepreneurship.
As the Founder of OURI Labs, an urban research consultancy dedicated to creating healthier cities, she aims to bridge the gap between urban planning and public health—one evidence-based intervention at a time.
