Profile
Mwmcreative is a London-based design and research studio founded in 2004 by Maria da Gandra and Maaike van Neck. Our ethos is informed through a dialogue of reflexive practice, teaching and research. In addition to undertaking client-driven work the studio initiates and produces research projects and workshops.
Our approach has allowed us to build a portfolio of diverse and creative work across a range of design disciplines: from publications, promotional brochures and corporate identities, to information design systems and websites. We encourage active long-lasting collaborations with our clients. Our aim is to deliver bespoke and engaging work, solving problems with strong conceptual development whilst exploring the possibilities of design and materiality.
