Daniel So Design is now Particle Design Studio

For the past eight years, I worked under Daniel So Design, a solo practice that grew as our clients did. The projects became bigger, more technical, and more ambitious. Eventually, it wasn’t just me anymore. With a small team now in place and a more defined focus in the type of work we do, it felt like the right time for a change. That’s how Particle Design Studio came about.

Particle is a product design studio focused on science and technology. We work closely with scientists, engineers, and technical teams to turn complex ideas into practical, manufacturable products.

True to our name, we bring together all the pieces (or the particles) of a brief: technical constraints, user-needs, manufacturing realities, and strategic goals. We work through these complexities to create cohesive, high-performing products built for real-world impact.

Looking ahead, I’m excited about where this next chapter takes us. With a growing team, strong partnerships, and a clear focus, we’re in a great position to take on more complex challenges and continue designing products that make a meaningful impact. We’re energised by what’s ahead and proud to keep building, particle by particle.
