Group Creative Director,
Design Bridge, London
Graham Shearsby is Group Creative Director of branding agency, Design Bridge. Based in Clerkenwell, he oversees the three studios in London, Amsterdam and Singapore with his team of creative directors.
Born in East London, Graham entered the creative world, unusually, straight from school back in 1979. Joining the John Blackburn Partnership as a studio junior, he received the accolade of a D&AD Yellow Pencil for Typography for Cockburns Ports in 1985.
Joining Allied International Designers in 1986, he met his future partners in what would become the fledging Design Bridge later that year. The company has grown from a handful of people to 200+ across the offices and a wealth of international awards.
Committed to design education, Graham is a member of the D&AD Education Council and a representative of the Design Advisory Panel for Creative and Cultural Skills.
“We have now been awarded for work designed by all our three studios for clients in countries as varied as New Zealand, Finland, Portugal, Germany, Spain and the UK since the launch of the Pentawards awards.”

Cheryl Swanson, Head of Toniq, once again explores the consumer trends for different age groups in the USA.
Before we had Apple Macs, Photoshop and a myriad of other programmes, design centered on tradition and craftsmanship, on the physical and the tactile. Yet now, we see the worlds of digital design and physical craftsmanship joining to create new expressions and celebrations of the power of making.
There’s a natural relationship between the style of our daily surroundings and how we feel. A great space can make us feel better, more hopeful and even more productive. And we often use our own space to express a vision of ourselves.
