Michael Thomson
Michael, founder of Design Connect, is an independent facilitator, strategist and consultant working with senior-level teams in design companies, client companies and public sector organisations. He has advised world-class brands and worked closely with many design companies on strategic issues in the UK and further afield.
During a number of focused workshops, Matt and Michael did a lot of big-picture and detailed exploration to identify and articulate fundamentals and key issues. Mapping and diagramming along with post-it note writing helped to clarify beliefs and directions.
In this thoughtful and reflective process, Rudd Studio’s creative personality came into sharp focus so that good decisions could be made about the messaging and the tone of voice of the new identity and website.

Matt brought found references and exploratory visuals to these sessions as triggers for debate and discussion. All the thinking and talking led to informed, intelligent and appropriate design and writing.
