Recently, we created the winning mayoral election campaign for Socialdemokratiet.Background-wise, my design journey began working with acclaimed designer Peter Saville at Pentagram Design. After gaining valuable experience at Thomas Manss & Co, I helped set up and run Peter Saville Studio, eventually assuming the role of company director. Over time, the studio evolved into Saville Parris Wakefield before I co-founded Studio Parris Wakefield with Sarah Parris. We have since rebranded as Colour & Form
