Jack O'Sullivan
Founder & Principal Designer
As the Principal Designer at Side By Side Studio, I work closely with the clients we partner with to help create and evolve brands and businesses to be strategy-led and design-driven.
Powerful brands are created when a solid business strategy, brand strategy and brand identity work side by side. Combining creative and commerce thinking, I work to ensure these elements align harmoniously in every project. It’s important to my process that I understand how a business works, breaking down the business model and discussing the business’ goals and challenges. Then, clarify purpose, vision, values, competitors/alternatives, and most importantly, dive deep into who your audience is and what connects with and inspires them.
Outside of the studio, I love pizza, photography, hitting 120+ on the golf course, short walks to the pub, Chicken Parmies, rain when sleeping, not rain when outside, Eggs Benedict, music (Country included), pasta and wine for lunch, and a good night’s sleep.
