From Science to Soulful Spaces with STANLEY SUN of Mason Studio

This week on AVD Inspire, I’m sitting down with one of my oldest (and most fabulous) friends — Stanley Sun, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Mason Studio.

Before he was designing hotels, restaurants, exhibitions, and retail spaces around the world, Stanley was deep in the world of neuroscience. That’s right…he almost became a doctor! But thankfully for all of us, he followed his heart (and his talent) straight into the world of design.

In this episode, we’re talking about what it really means to bring your whole self into your creative work — your background, your culture, your quirks, all of it. Stanley opens up about discovering your true identity, working with intention, and how community-building is at the center of everything Mason Studio does.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

How Stanley went from lab research to luxury interiors
The connection between science, creativity, and emotion

The wild story behind talking to industry pros at a spa…in bathing suits
Embracing culture and queerness as creative superpowers
Why Mason Studio is more than a design firm — it’s a movement
The power of space to ground, heal, and connect us.
