Platform’s Molawin Evangelista details their unique transition from retail store to design studio

PLATFORM began as a pop-up, and then permanent, conceptual retail store before making the unique transition into a full-service design studio in the first quarter of 2021. Based in Auckland, New Zealand, they have finally made their growing portfolio public with their new website, made in collaboration with New Territory Studio. Hoping to learn more about their backgrounds and rare path into the graphic design industry, we caught up with Co-founder Molawin Evangelista. EM: Hi Mo, how are you? ME: Good Elliott, thank you for having me! Currently writing this in my lounge as New Zealand is in level four lockdown which is our highest restriction level for COVID-19. Slowly getting cabin fever but still in good spirits!
