Confirmed speakers
David Freer / Jonny Mowat | O Street
At the Brewers Lectures Bristol, O Street’s youngest designer Jonny Mowat (shortlisted for this years Rising Star award in Design Weeks 2019 Design Awards) and one of their oldest designers David Freer (was an extra in the movie Trainspotting) will deliver a joint presentation. They are a studio based in Glasgow, London and Denver made up solely of designers. This means everything they do is design-led, from designing label systems to critiquing the beer they drink on Fridays. Their beer work includes the rebrand of Fyne Ales and Brewdog’s Abstrakt range. To keep their approach fresh, they work across a range of other industries including a recent redesign of Scotlands Polymer banknotes.
