Gareth Howat worked at The Partners before setting up Hat-Trick Design Studio with fellow designer Jim Sutherland. Since forming in 2001, Hat-Trick has developed an impressive client list featuring The Natural History Museum, The British Heart Foundation & Royal Mail. Alongside designing for iconic British companies they can be seen curating miniature exhibitions or continuing their proactive approach to personal projects, having designed a typography inspired chess set as well as bespoke playing cards.
While visiting #shillolon, Gareth shared 25 points to remember as a designer—each an invaluable reminder no matter which point of your design career you’re at.
