In Study Task 01, we were all selected into groups to research 12 Design Studio. Within our groups we had to investigate or explore our given Design Studio and then put together a 3 minute visual and oral group presentation. 

This presentation of our selected Design Studio had to include the following: Who are they? Where are they based? What do they do? How do they do it? and What makes them unique? 

The Design Studio that my group got given was called the "Studio AH-HA".

What makes them unique?
As a Studio they have a individualistic style in their work that brings out each of its uniqueness. The work that they do is very minimalist, simple and abstract.
