Twist Presents an Interview with Jim Sutherland: Founder of Hat-Trick Design
16th September 2014 by Grace Bullingham
Jim co-founded Hat-Trick Design which has been going for 12 years. He had always wanted to own his own company and naively started with no money, no studio and no clients. This didn't stop him and his partners working hard and a couple of years ago were placed number one in the design week top 100 agency list. In this interview Jim gives us a funny and honest account of life in a design and branding agency.
Hat-trick is one of the most awarded design studios in the UK, currently ranked No.1 in the Design Week creative survey. Founded in 2001 and led by co-founders Jim Sutherland and Gareth Howat, the company works for clients including Action on Hearing Loss (formerly RNID), Apple, Breakthrough Breast Cancer, Imperial War Museums, Land Securities, Natural History Museum, Royal Mail, University of Amsterdam and Wimbledon.
As well as commissioned work, the company produces a range of acclaimed publishing and product design projects.
