How did you start working with<br />
Beavertown?<br />
When I graduated I immediately<br />
got a restaurant job to make ends<br />
meet while keeping a look out for<br />
freelance work / a steady design<br />
position somewhere, ideally<br />
illustration specific. While working<br />
at one restaurant my buddy James<br />
Rylance said he’d met this guy Logan,<br />
who had a BBQ joint and brewery<br />
in the back, and needed labels for<br />
two experimental beers called “Black<br />
Betty” and “Gamma Ray.” After a few<br />
sessions talking through the designs<br />
and required changes, I saw how<br />
nice it looked working at Dukes, the<br />
BBQ joint, and applied for a waiter<br />
job. This meant more time chatting<br />
to Logan about things like music,<br />
art, comics etc and it turned out we<br />
shared a lot of interests. Alongside<br />
this I would make sure he always saw<br />
the best page of my sketchbook when<br />
I was working on it before shifts.<br />
This translated into help with the<br />
current core range branding, website<br />
and marketing materials etc, and<br />
eventually a full time designer roll<br />
at our then-site in Hackney Wick.<br />
From there my job and relationship<br />
with the company evolved into fully<br />
fledged creative director.
