I hope these answers are OK. Please keep us informed with feedback.
Why did you and Jack/Jacob decide to partner up and start Rueville? What barriers have you encountered so far making your journey into the professional world difficult?
Myself and Jacob have share very similar interests in design and lifestyle. It’s almost inevitable that we would come together at some point to conduct a self initiated brief based around all of our interests.
As a student your imagination of hierarchy is exaggerated, especially for the creatives you look up to. Half of the time these designers are more approachable than your tutors.
Do you both have different roles to play in your partnership? Who does what?
We work 100% in harmony together. It’s like our ideas should form a jigsaw, its just finding the right pieces to form the final thing. Another reason why its perfect to be referencing similar sources and inspirations.
How do you see your studio’s character and ethos? Does this help with gaining contributors?
LEAVE YO EGO AT HOME .
I suppose us as individuals form the partnership but in a slightly cheeky way. Rueville started as the raw little brother of magazines like Huck, eye, juxtapose or even creative review.
We stay true to being professional, yet we’re also follow a brief of 60% clean 40% dirty.
We’re a little bit like when Madlib became Quasimoto. Stay true to your core and the followers will sure tag along.
How would you describe your design process, from idea to final resolution?
We are very separate with initial ideas and then slightly clash heads. We both know each others weak links and that’s when the fun begins. Having someone to feed off is key in a creative role.
What are your inspirations within the design world (or outside)?

Hopefully selling well and producing some really nice work. Mainly Staying true to our brief and having a blast!
