About Us
moimoi design is a Toronto-based collective dedicated to trans-disciplinary exploration across art, design, craft and education. Our work is created through competitions and grants or by our own initiative. We operate fluidly with members working either individually, in combination as various sized groups or with designers and colleagues in other disciplines.
