Founded in 2010, Puki Design is one of the affiliated company of Shanghai Puki Deaf Coordination Agency (小籠包聾人協力事務所). This is a design studio in form of a Social Enterprise providing career opportunities to be trained to become a real designer for the deaf that have already had proper skill of training in government training centre. This is the first and the only one in China.

When a deaf design trainee might not have an equal and same opportunity with healthy one, Puki Design would employ affordable number of these trainees for a certain length of training period. They can work with regular design projects from large corporations to gain on-the-job training under supervision of superior design director. After that, they would “graduate” and are ready to work in regular designing junior position in collaborating corporations. These collaborating corporations include TaoMee Interactive platform (www.61.com), Ctrip Traveling Network (www.ctrip.com), The 9 Gaming Community Network (www.the9.com), etc.
