Graham Shearsby is Group Creative Director and, with the help of his team of creative directors, he oversees the three studios in London, Amsterdam and Singapore. Born in East London, Graham entered the creative world in 1979 - unusually, straight from school. He joined the John Blackburn Partnership as a studio junior and won 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, later that year, become the fledging Design Bridge. Graham has spearheaded the company's creative growth and seen it acquire a wealth of international awards. Deeply 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. An avid pop culturist and eclectic collector, Graham has been likened to a 'human and rather talkative attic'.
