MISSION
As a team of young creatives, we have established a unique student-led design studio focused on collaboration and learning. Creating solutions that are grounded in fresh, forward-thinking perspectives, we strive to formulate connections that extend further than both Ball State University and the Muncie Community. We are communicators, intellectuals, and visual problem-solvers that embrace the diversity of ideas to create appealing, functional design. Studio 165+ is dedicated to committing one hundred and sixty-five minutes each week in studio, plus the additional dedication to ensuring quality results.
