Design Studio

Jonny founded the studio in 2007, a creative consultancy specialising in ‘difference engineering’ for products and projects. The studio works across a diverse range of disciplines from product design to custom made interiors, exhibition stands to outdoor advertising, concept generation to product investment pitches.

Jonny's approach to design is different...

The world is changing, it's in a state of ever-increasing flux and it doesn't matter how long you wait, things are never going to go back to the way they were...there's been a global shift and the game is different now.

Great Design is no longer about just identifying problems and creating solutions...it's about finding the right questions to ask, so you can keep evolving and adapting.
