Mens et Manus.
translates from Latin to “Mind and Hand” and reflects our philosophy of the union of knowledge and application.
It is a nod and tribute to our alma mater, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which provided an unparalleled education in architecture.
MIT's motto is "Mens et Manus," which translates from the Latin to "Mind and Hand." This motto reflects the educational ideals of MIT's founders who were promoting, above all, education for practical application.
"Mens et Manus" appears on the Institute's official seal, along with a scholar and a laborer who signify a union of knowledge and the mechanical arts, as do the volumes "Science and Arts" that rest on the pedestal in the center of the seal.

It is not the easiest to use as a business name.
Why “Men and Man?”
Do you mean ”Mainset Mani, as in Manicure?”
Or just “Mens…What?”
But the puzzled pronunciations give us plenty of humour.
And the meaning gives us plenty to work with.
