Studio Sutherl& was set up by Jim Sutherland in 2014 to be agile and playful – building teams from the best artists, architects, photographers, writers and strategists to suit each project. There is immense creative potential in collaboration. And great joy.
He has rebranded the Natural History Museum, Wimbledon Lawn Tennis, The Arts Society, Williams F1, Prostate Cancer UK, National Museums Scotland, Welsh National Opera, and Start-rite shoes. He has designed over 50 stamps to date for Royal Mail including the Agatha Christie set in 2016. Awards include 94 projects in D&AD, with eight nominations and five yellow pencils. He has judged D&AD eight times (as Foreman of the Branding Jury in 2016), as well as the Design Week, Creative Review, Loeries (SA), Kinsale, Roses, Fresh and ADNC awards.
He is a visiting Professor in Design at Norwich University of the Arts, and has given lectures at many UK universities. He has spoken at the Design Indaba in South Africa, the London Design Festival at the V&A, Birmingham Design Festival, Cheltenham Design Festival and Clerkenwell Design Week. He was on the D&AD Executive board from 2009 to 2012 and a governor at Norwich School of Art between 2010 and 2014. He is vice chair of The Typographic Circle.
Studio Sutherl& was the most awarded design studio at D&AD in 2017, and came number one in the Computer Arts UK studio rankings in 2017 and 2018.
