Our Mission & Values

Tom Mak Design is a leading studio specializing in branding, placemaking, wayfinding, and signage solutions. With a strong focus on these core services. Our impressive portfolio showcases our expertise in working on diverse large-scale projects, including flagship collaborations with major developers, international architects, and renowned brands.

​

At Tom Mak Design, we believe in going beyond the ordinary. We strive to create exceptional brand experiences, seamless wayfinding journeys, and captivating placemaking strategies. Our designs are not just about navigating from point A to B; they are about crafting meaningful connections between people and places, offering immersive and memorable experiences.

Central to our design philosophy is the concept of placemaking. We understand that successful placemaking transforms spaces into vibrant, inviting environments that foster a sense of community and belonging. By carefully considering the unique characteristics of each site and engaging with the surrounding context, we create destinations that are visually appealing and socially and culturally relevant. Our placemaking strategies enhance the identity and distinctiveness of each location, turning it into a place where people want to gather, explore, and create lasting memories.

​

Our comprehensive range of services encompasses all aspects of wayfinding and signage design, including fabrication and production. From conducting thorough wayfinding audits and needs analyses to developing strategic wayfinding and interpretative plans, our team excels in delivering innovative design concepts and detailed specifications for build and installation. We also offer project management services to ensure a seamless process from conceptual development to final installation.

​

Branding, placemaking, wayfinding, and signage are essential tools for creating remarkable user experiences. They serve as the points of contact that initiate, guide, and complete a journey within various spaces, whether it’s a shopping mall, a headquarters, or a theme park. In our view, architecture represents the skeleton and body of a property, interior design serves as the outfit, and branding acts as the soul. Wayfinding and signage, on the other hand, function as the vital blood vessels that connect and activate all parts of a property, facilitating the circulation of people and fostering a sense of attachment to the space.

Our design solutions not only establish project branding and fundamental functionality but also provide meaningful interpretations of the space, the brand’s DNA, customer expectations, and the needs of all stakeholders. 

By integrating these elements, along with our expertise in placemaking, we create compelling experiences that engage visitors, break down barriers, activate every section of a property, infuse a brand’s core values, and inspire people with boundless imagination.

​

Tom Mak Design is committed to delivering design solutions that have a profound positive impact on spatial and user experiences. With our expertise and creativity, we empower properties to establish their unique identities, captivate audiences, and elevate the overall quality of interaction. Join us on a journey where good wayfinding, signage design, fabrication, placemaking, and production take visitors everywhere, infuse warmth into every corner, and spark limitless inspiration.
