In this episode, we spoke with Mark Stott of Common Creative. Stott started Common in 2005 as a boutique design agency concentrating on brand and visual solutions.

Mark originally started out in London working for the Designer’s Republic – the poster studio for a whole generation of designers. In ’97 Mark moved to the Attik before immigrating to Australia to set it up over here. 11 years ago though he decided to go out on his own and he’s been running his own studio ever since.

In this conversation we get into all sorts of topics including design process, how designers can give back, finding time and even tinnitus due to an ill-spent youth.
