Over the decades, Eddy and Hung moved from working on commercial design projects to working with social enterprises. They even founded CoLAB and dedicated their time and efforts to social projects, like Café 330 and So…Soap+.
With the hope of making a little change in society, Eddy and Hung demonstrated how design could make a difference with their enthusiasm and comprehensive plan. Eventually their efforts led to numerous design awards and successfully transformed the ‘old-school’, ‘conservative’ perception of social enterprises.
