I believe that jewelry should be a characteristic of the wearer; as distinct and individual as the person who wears it.  Always earthy and metal prominent, my form of design is to present a contemporary take on traditional items. Whether the project is to repurpose inherited pieces, design a custom item, or simply add to our collection, the process is very intentional. Since Sustainability and small-scale production is my main focus, our pieces are never mass-produced or ready to ship and I take pride in the intimacy of creating made to order pieces.  

We are shaping tomorrow’s diverse cultures. Happening Studio is an international design studio, cultivating global minds with local sensibility. Specializing in identity design as a studio foundation, we output a wide range of work, from screen-based experiences to printed reading experiences.  Often working with small to medium sized cultural institutions and museums, Happening Studio function as a design mediator and facilitator between in-house design, marketing staffs and high level stakeholders.  Since 2019, the studio went fully remote and worked from 3 different continents to further establish their design practice and research. As a result, the studio carries a flexible working conditions, offers an in-depth understanding of client needs within global to local landscapes that are diverse and meaningful. 

Matt Asato-Adams is a graphic designer and researcher interested in the relationship between the body, the self, and technology. He recently graduated from ArtCenter College of Design with a BFA in Graphic Design.

By embracing the accidental nuances with experimentation and process, he uses design as a tool for speculation and inquiry.
