Me
Hello!
My name is Guy Bonhomme. (No relation to Bonhomme de Neige)
I’m an average Guy with a keen eye and real passion for design – a little obsessive to be honest. I have been for as long as I can remember.
It all started when I was a kid. I had a real fascination for letters, (A, M, O, V, W, X) I loved symmetry, still do, but have evolved since.
My first real job out of art college was with Typsettra, a traditional Typehouse, working with type master and mentor, Les Usherwood. The Les Usherwood Lifetime Achievement Award is now the most prestigious accolade at the annual ADCC awards.
Great start!
Since then, my journey in the industry has taken me in several directions, primarily in the retail sector. Years of researching, understanding, creating, innovating and successfully motivating consumers into becoming customers.
My approach in life, and work, is trust your gut, stay focused, never take yourself too seriously, and have fun with it.
Dos
