About the studio

An independent studio,involved at every stage.

MN Studio is a graphic design and print studio founded by Masood Malik. It exists for clients who want one capable person invested in the outcome — from the first conversation to the finished piece.

The story

Masood started as a creative designer and web developer — learning how to make things look right, communicate clearly and work technically. That foundation never left.

Over the following years he went further than most designers do: into publishing and print production, recruitment and sales, and operational project management. Each role added something the others lacked — production knowledge, an understanding of what clients actually need, and the discipline to deliver complex projects on time.

That round trip changed how he approaches every project: not just what it should look like, but what it needs to achieve, how it will be produced, who needs to be involved and what could go wrong. The design is only as good as the delivery behind it.

MN Studio brings those threads together. It is deliberately independent and deliberately hands-on, supported by a network of specialist production partners so that projects can scale without losing the single point of contact.

I work with clients who want someone genuinely invested in the outcome — not an account manager passing messages between floors. When you contact me, you get me. When something needs solving, I solve it.

How the studio works

What you can expect.

01
Hands-on, start to finish
No account managers and no hand-offs. The person you brief is the person who designs, prepares the artwork, talks to the printer and checks the result.
02
Design that understands production
Years in publishing and print production mean decisions are made with stock, process, finishing and budget in mind — not discovered at proof stage.
03
Attention to detail
Hundreds of personalised badges without an error. Financial tables checked line by line. Two language editions held to one standard. Detail is the job.
04
Trusted specialist suppliers
Long-standing relationships with specialist printers, large-format producers, finishers and installers — chosen for the job, managed on your behalf.

Working together

Not nine-to-five — goal to goal

Events and publications don't move, and neither do their deadlines. If a deadline falls on an evening, a weekend or a bank holiday, that's when the work gets done — early proofs and late sign-offs included.
