Scott Ko is the Founder and Director of ColourSpace, an Australian social enterprise that’s changing the way businesses engage with art whilst creating economic opportunities for local emerging artists.

A self-described ‘Idea Craftsperson’, Scott is passionate about empathy, creativity, and human-centred social impact.
