About 

Employment 

TA!LAB Design Ltd, Newcastle upon Tyne, GB, Co-Founder

TA!LAB is a spatial design collaboration between Cynthia Wong and Karl Mok that seeks to explore the intersection between design, space and branding. Having previously worked in Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur, the pair have a singular focus to explore imageability in spatial design.

TA!LAB's vision is about creating spaces that tell stories; visual narratives that combine the spectacular with the ordinary. What we do is create designs that skilfully combine the physical with the intangible - physical spaces that are instantly engaging and hold the attention of a generation of social media savvy consumers.
