The panel is led by Sarah Di Domenico, co-founder of creative brand agency Wedge, joined by the visionary architect Brigitte Shim (Shim-Sutcliffe Architects; Ace Hotel Toronto), NY-based chef & artist Fernando Aciar, co-founder creative director Anna Polonsky of hospitality studio polonsky+friends, and emerging textile artist Justin Yong.
