Our design industry is constantly evolving and changing. recent years have seen a host of global design studios landing firmly on Australian soil. Followed by mergers and numerous start ups, all causing us to rethink our business strategy and how we need to look at adapting to these changing markets. Is big necessarily better? What can small teams achieve? AGDA presents a night of inspirational stories of one and two man studios.
Speakers include:
Mathew Remphrey from Parallax in Adelaide. Previously Creative Manager at Ian Kidd Design where he won all kinds of national and international awards. In July 2001 Matthew decided to try his hand at business ownership by opening his own consultancy. Parallax has already shown that it will be a force to be reckoned with.
Joining Mathew are Frank and Emilie from Parisydneytokyo, an art/design duo who have created quite a buzz of late Appearing everywhere from Desktop to Monument magazine. They spread their time between designing products and exhibiting in paris, sydney and tokyo.
Rounding out the line-up is Andrew Johnstone from designiskinky who, with the help of a few friends, turned a hair-brained scheme into a global web community boasting some 500,000 hits a day and an annual conference attracting 3,000 designers and sponsors the likes of diesel.
