![]() ![]() and you have a great new BLOG, AND you have this excellent little illustration project on the go called MNML Thing! How and why did you become involved in all these extra-curricular activities!?įrom the beginning I have been quite involved in the design industry in general, and much of where I am today is due to the help and support I have gotten from some amazing people I have met in the creative community. We've done a little stalking and would love to know how someone so young is so accomplished! You run your own design practice - HAPPY STÜDIO, and you co-manage Creative Mornings Melbourne. ![]() As everyones favourite typographer, Jessica Hische said 'the work you do while you procrastinate is probably the work you should be doing for the rest of your life.' So at the end of my course I decided make the switch and enrolled in design school. While I was still studying science I would always procrastinate from writing lab reports by playing around in Photoshop, which I found way more fun. I grew up in Adelaide and started out studying a Bachelor of Science in Nanotechnology after High School but realised near the end of my course that my heart wasn't in it and I wanted to try something different. We asked Spencer a few questions about himself and his many extra-curricular projects - Tell us a little bit about your background – what did you study and what initially led you to graphic design? You can also purchase giclee prints from the website, for the obscenely reasonable price of $35 for an A4 print. to me it seems somehow very international and ' Monocle'-esque, which in my head can only be a good thing!Ĭheck out MNML Thing here! It makes me smile. it's so rad! I love Spencer's super simple illustrations of everyday things in block colours. MNML Thing is an illustration-a-day project Spencer launched late last year. There is some really cute work to check out on the HAPPY STÜDIO website, but today we'd like to introduce you to one of Spencer's many side projects. Originally from Adelaide, Spencer moved to Melbourne in 2011, and set up his own design studio, HAPPY STÜDIO, with the assistance of the government funded NEIS scheme. He's a graphic designer with qualifications in nanotechnology (true story!). Spencer is a lovely lad with quite a bit going on. The Melbourne chapter of Creative Mornings is run by a handful of wonderful organisers and volunteers from various creative fields, and one of those people is Spencer Harrison. Last year I was very chuffed to be invited to speak at Creative Mornings - a global network of casual morning speaking / networking events for creative people. ![]() MNML Thing - an illustration project by Spencer Harrison ![]()
