About me

Originally from Canada, Joel's design practice is filled with complex and nuanced visual solutions for clients who demand sensitivity, insight, and communicable differences in the market.

Start-ups, scale-ups and established brands benefit from his "no stones unturned" approach to problem solving, and his appreciation that complex situations bring forward unique perspectives.

Before founding Studio Otherness, Joel's focus on executing brand strategy led him to consult on refreshes and re-imaginings for companies such as Bosch, Elsevier, ING and Salomon. He previously worked with consultancies and agencies such as IDEO, HUGE and Landor.

Joel is a consistent presence in the international design scene, sporting over 60 international publications, awards and features in his decade of work.
