Samuel Lim

Founder of Studio Lucidus

As a designer immersed in wayfinding, Samuel learned to spot subtle complexities that often go unnoticed. His journey began during a month of daily commutes through Outram Park station in Singapore, where he observed recurring patterns of misdirected commuters – people hesitating and backtracking. This curiosity led to 15 months of research and, eventually, a role at the Land Transport Authority, where he tackled wayfinding challenges for Singapore’s MRT network.

After working on major projects like the Singapore MRT and Doha Metro System, Samuel realized many in the industry lacked the understanding needed to evaluate or demand truly effective wayfinding solutions. This led to the creation of Studio Lucidus, where he helps businesses, authorities, and architects cut through confusion with clear, actionable insights on wayfinding strategy. Whether through coaching, workshops, or expert guidance, Studio Lucidus empowers teams to understand and articulate wayfinding issues, enabling them to make better decisions and demand more from their signage solutions.

Samuel believes effective design isn’t just about how it looks – it starts with understanding the real problem. Before jumping into solutions, he helps teams uncover the root causes of navigational challenges, ensuring interventions are meaningful and truly improve the user experience. Because after all, the best wayfinding solutions don’t just provide directions; they prevent people from feeling lost in the first place.
