The Design Pod
About this episode

Welcome to Season 2 of The Design Pod. In Episode 11, we sit down with Jin Peh, an author, consultant, and leading expert in Chinese metaphysics and Feng Shui. Born in Kuala Lumpur and raised in Singapore, Jin’s unconventional journey has taken him from medical training in Australia to broadcast journalism — and ultimately, to becoming one of the most respected voices in Feng Shui worldwide.

Having apprenticed for over a decade under masters in Taiwan and San Francisco, Jin has written more than a dozen books, including a global bestseller on Four Pillars of Destiny. His work bridges the worlds of ancient philosophy and modern design, helping clients create spaces that support wellbeing, balance, and prosperity.

In this episode, we explore Jin’s path, the true meaning of Feng Shui, and some fascinating stories from his practice around the world.
