Event Highlight | InnoPort X United College | CUbicZine “Human Library” Talk Series — “One Bite at a Time: Building the Dream of a Community” College Assembly (13 Feb 2026)
On 13 February 2026, the CUbicZine “Human Library” Talk Series made its latest stop at United College, with a session titled “One Bite at a Time: Building the Dream of a Community”, held in Sir Run Run Shaw Hall. As part of CUHK InnoPort’s story-driven dialogue series linking students with entrepreneurs and innovators, the event brought together approximately 1,500 United College students to explore how design and architecture can transform everyday spaces into platforms for community connection and impact.
The talk featured Ms. Sarah Mui, co-founder of One Bite Design Studio and CUHK Architecture alumna, who shared her journey from architectural practice to community design and social entrepreneurship. By walking students through projects such as revitalized public spaces in housing estates and playful rooftops, she highlighted how listening to residents, co-creating with different stakeholders, and testing ideas “one bite at a time” can turn overlooked corners of the city into inclusive, welcoming places.
In the dialogue that followed, Sarah unpacked how the name “One Bite” embodies her belief that meaningful change starts with small, tangible steps. She also shared how One Bite Design Studio and One Bite Social integrate spatial innovation, business strategy, and community engagement, distinguishing themselves from traditional firms. Reflecting on her early entrepreneurial hurdles, Sarah emphasized how empathy, experimentation and resilience drive purpose‑driven design and sustainable social impact.
The engaging session left students inspired to look at their surroundings with new eyes, discovering how thoughtful design can cultivate belonging and optimism in urban life.
InnoPort looks forward to continuing the CUbicZine “Human Library” Talk Series across CUHK’s colleges, nurturing a new generation of entrepreneurs who build ideas from the heart and turn vision into community impact.
