Studio Access - Studio Clear

Recently I had the opportunity to visit design and brand strategy studio - Clear - through the Studio Access program run over design week at AGIdeas/LookUpstairs. This year I was so happy that I got a second chance to visit the studio, as the previous year, I was too ill to attend the event. Apparently, so was Matthew McCarthy, Clear's founder and studio director, so this year I was so glad that we were both alive and well for AGIdeas!

I spoke to most of the people that were employed at the studio, and got some lovely insight's into the studio culture, as well as an in depth look into their client work. I love that they have a wide range of clients, from large Australian brands, to non profit work. This kind of diversity is what I'd love to be able to be exposed to some day.

Not only is Clear creating beautiful brands and campaigns, but their work has a meaning and purpose behind everything they do. By utilizing collaboration, and using hands on research processes Clear learns how to better understand the heart behind each project.

It was a privilege to be able to meet the team and see what they do, and I hope I'll get the chance to talk to the Clear gang again in the future :)

If you're wondering whether going to Studio Access is worth it, or whether or not you should go, I highly recommend it. Any opportunity you get to absorb the energy as well as see the triumphs and trials of other studio's is great, and it gives you great insight as a student into the culture of design in Melbourne. There is so much that you can expose yourself to in this day and age, you just have to put yourself out there and seize every moment! Sorry for the dodgy photography, I wanted to take more photo's but I felt like a big dork :/ Don't forget to holla at me if you pass by me at Look Upstairs!
