Studio M was founded in 2004 when a youngish American designer, Malia Hoffman settled into her new role as a mom in Hong Kong. With her enthusiastic family cheering her on to find a creative niche, Malia researched the market and realized a void for fresh, elegant and fashionable stationery existed. Taking the leap, she offered to a close friend - who was moving from Hong Kong to Japan - to custom design her moving announcements; Studio M created the iconic Koi announcement, notes, envelopes and return address sticker collection, and the company was born.

After a year in the personal stationery business, corporate clients took notice of their design talent and corporate identity, packaging and marketing projects broadened the repertoire of work coming from the studio…and it continues.

Founding & Creative Director of Studio M Limited, Malia Snyder Hoffman leads the team with creative concepts, design direction and execution, as well as managing the business.

Originally from Hawaii, Malia grew up enjoying art, design, and writing letters. With a youth steeped in design, thanks to her parents (an architect father and fashion merchandiser / model mother), Malia pursued an education in art. She received her degree in graphic & textile design from the University of Washington. Soon afterwards, she took a job with Levi Strauss & Co. in San Francisco as a graphic & textile designer of children’s wear. After over 17 years in the apparel, home, graphics and accessories design & sales field, she moved to Hong Kong in 2002.
