Kosong Studio is an independent creative and multimedia design studio based in Kuching, Malaysia. It was born out of a desire to create work that is intentional, thoughtful, and adaptable. From branding to motion, from editorial layouts to web experiences, every project is approached with care, clarity, and purpose.
The studio explores ideas across visual mediums, bringing together motion, sound, and design into cohesive experiences that communicate clearly and leave room for meaning. Kosong Studio does not chase trends or flashy effects. Instead, it focuses on work that feels honest, enduring, and reflective of the story it represents.
The studio is led by Akmal Ghazali, a Malaysian indie creative who designs, animates, and tells stories visually. Every project is handled personally, giving clients a direct connection to the designer behind the ideas.
‘Kosong’ means “empty” or “nothing” in Malay. The name reflects the studio’s beginnings, which started with practically nothing: just a beat-up laptop, a rented room, and a handful of pirated software.
This idea of “starting from nothing” became a guiding philosophy. Kosong Studio embraces adaptability, minimalism, and space, valuing clarity over clutter, intention over decoration, and visual systems that leave room for meaning. The studio does not strictly adhere to a single style but always maintains a clear identity.
Kosong Studio works across multiple creative disciplines, combining them into cohesive experiences. Among them are:
Every project is crafted to feel coherent across mediums. Notable collaborations include local and international projects spanning brand identities, editorial publications, animation, and interactive media.
Working with Kosong Studio is more than just getting visuals. It is a partnership built on clarity, intention, and care.
Ideas are translated into design that communicates clearly and consistently across every medium. The work is honest, refined, and free of unnecessary embellishment, so your brand feels authentic and enduring. Working directly with the designer means faster decisions, clear communication, and personal attention to every detail.
The value lies in intentionality. Every visual, motion piece, or layout is crafted to carry meaning, giving you design that not only looks good but serves your brand with clarity and purpose.
