About Us
Design Studio MZ+MM is an award-winning, locally based work integration social enterprise in Hong Kong that provides creative and design services. Our creative team includes designers with disabilities and People of Differences (PoDs).
We specialise in all kinds of publication design and typesetting. Designing a sustainability report becomes a one-of-a-kind aesthetic service provider in social procurement.
無狀無名設計事務所 is our Chinese name in full. 設計 means design. 事務所 refers to studio. 無狀無名 is our identity. 無 means nothing and represents emptiness in a very philosophical way. 無 is pronounced as “mou” in Cantonese, 狀 as “zong” and 名 as “ming”. You will find the composition of our English name “M(ou) Z(ong) + M(ou) M(ing)” as well as the symbol “+“ is the separation between two phrases, 無狀 and 無名. 無狀 literally means shapeless, while 無名 literally means anonymous. Through our name, we hope to express our power of differences and to define the borderless constitution for the future.
All year round, we will recruit talents from different visual arts fields for organising distinct visual arts projects, to promote the visual aesthetics of PoDs. New visual artists can participate in exhibitions or publications with a lower entry threshold. In addition, we can guide the young disabled talents in their development of career paths.
In this regard, we gathered numerous PoDs, who have practised greatly on visual aesthetics, thereby unleashing the unlimited power of differences.
To succeed in our vision and mission, we actively invest in social innovation. By planning new modular social innovation projects, we hope to form a final social output progressively and eventually promote social inclusion.

Stride towards where no Enterprise has gone before: Infinite Diversity & Infinite Inclusion
Striking a balance of the double bottom line with the effectiveness of business operations: social aims and corporate finance.
Social aims
Nurture PoDs’ (covert) visual sense and aesthetic power, helping them to be prepared in the workforce.
Corporate finance
Sustainable development is the goal. Our profit distribution refers to the profit sharing model of the UK social enterprise (CIC), shareholders can only be distributed up to 30% of the net profit.

Social Outputs & Outcomes
Design Studio MZ+MM prioritises its sustainable development and ultimately considers its long-term vision, establishing true social inclusion. We will promote strategic social innovation and visual art projects in stages according to actual operations and additional resources, or cooperate with other social innovation units to enhance the synergy effect.
In this regard, we have recorded all the socially innovative activities in which we have participated. We not only attend short online conferences, but also participate in larger inclusive programmes.

Like other ordinary design houses, we offer added value along with our services. In addition, we generate social outputs that translate into vast added social value along with our operations.
