JG We’re really connected, and something as all three studios grow we’re going to continue to push. By having a studio in Sydney, we can also move to a more global footprint, where we can serve APAC, London can look after Europe, the Middle East and Africa and San Francisco can work across North and South America.ĮM What’s the relationship like with the London and San Francisco offices in terms of the projects you work on? It’s clear to us that there are some really interesting and ambitious clients in the market, who value the organisational difference great design can make. There is a really great design scene here, with some incredible talent. So when we started looking at where we could open the next studio, Sydney felt like a really good fit, for a number of reasons. London is ten years old in January, San Francisco is nearly four years old now. It’s not something to take lightly, we’ve put a lot of work into doing it right.ĮM Why was Sydney the right place for DesignStudio to set up their next team? The core parts of founding the studio have been around building reputation and relationships to drive new business, finding a studio space, interviewing and hiring the right team and all of the everyday operational considerations that keep a studio going on a day to day basis. Working with Ben and Paul (DesignStudio’s founding partners), we’ve been working on getting the studio setup since the end of last year. JG It’s been a really interesting process.
The opportunity to bring that to a new country, to build and lead a studio was an incredible opportunity.ĮM What was the process like of setting up the studio and building a team? Coming back, wasn’t going back to the DesignStudio I left, this is something new. As a studio we’re constantly growing, changing and working in new ways. JG What really cemented it for me was that the company I left and the one I rejoined felt totally different. JG Before coming to DesignStudio, I spent about a year working at another agency here in Sydney, and prior to coming to Australia I was a member of the DesignStudio London team for 4.5 years.īuilding something from the ground up is really exciting.ĮM What made you want to rejoin DesignStudio having previously worked for them in London? I’ve been travelling around the country talking to potential clients, building the team, working with the London and San Francisco teams and starting to build the long term vision for where I want to see DesignStudio Sydney in the next few years.ĮM Can you tell us about your background before taking up this position? Building something from the ground up is really exciting.
