Welcome to episode #85 – today’s guest is an Australian brand designer and branding icon, responsible for the development of many of Australia’s leading identities including Qantas, Woolworths, Virgin Australia, Rebel, Taronga Zoo, Caltex, P&O Cruises, Foxtel and hundreds more. In 1982, he pioneered the concept of combining brand, brand strategy and product development.

• And the harsh reality of being a leader, a business owner and a designer that’s always striving for better.
