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. 

Los Angeles based, Mauro Gatti is an italian all-around creative guy in love with creating all sorts of other fun stuff. He lives a double life, during the day he’s in charge of content creation at the amazing JibJab Studio; at night he splashes around in illustration, animation, game design, GIFs and children’s books illustration. His work is full of humour and his style is iconic and simple, inspired by the illustration of the 60s and 70s. He is always in company of his inseparable bullmastiff Cyrus and his favorite quote is “A day without laughter is a day wasted” - Charlie Chaplin

Micaela McLucas is a filmmaker and artist based between Los Angeles, Paris and London. She studied at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne and completed her MFA in Contemporary Photography at Central Saint Martins in London. Raised between Argentina and LA, always on an airplane, always out of context. Three passports, four languages, learned every life lesson by getting kicked in the teeth, which is why her work hits the way it does. Her influences range from trash TV to French philosophy and cinema has always been the core obsession. Her work moves between fashion, theory and lived experience in ways that feel both precise and unruly. The world she builds is psychedelic, intimate and unapologetically feminine. She mines her own life for material and uses it to collapse fantasy and confession. Everything is neon soaked, surreal and intrusive, not to escape reality but to pierce it. She's currently writing and developing her first feature film while continuing her studio practice.
