Showcasing design-led innovation in Asia

Building the Design Thinking community in Asia

Each year, MAKE Studios designs and runs an annual 2-day conference to showcase the best examples of design-led innovation from Hong Kong and the Asia-Pacific region.

The aim is to demonstrate the value and impact of Human Centric Design disciplines such as Design Thinking, Service Design & Customer Experience.

We create a fully integrated, end-to-end experience for participants based on core values that celebrate diversity and inclusion.

Diversity and inclusion in action

It is important that we design the event in a way that reflectsthe values of our profession.

We are committed to maintaining a balance of gender, ethnicity and nationality from around the region. As such, we are able to demonstrate the power of diversity of thought and perspective.

A must-attend for anyone interested in Hong Kong and the broader region.
