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.
