About this episode

Michael C Place is a Yorkshire-born graphic designer, creative director and founder of the successful design studio, Build.

We chat about those early days, the design industry in general and some of his most memorable projects. He also shares lots of wisdom on running a small studio outside of London. This is an honest and humble chat with one of the biggest names in design.
