John Skinner

John Skinner, Candour

Early experiences working in design agencies with a focus on more traditional design disciplines satisfied John’s love of typography, layout, and even the smell of freshly printed paper. But there was always the feeling that something was missing.

A previous life as a Law undergraduate had instilled an inquisitive mindset, and the then blossoming digital world offered the chance to satiate both his creative and analytical sides. John was a founding partner of the agency in 2015. He had (a little) more hair back then, but now has a lot more fun.

When he is not arguing with developers about the odd pixel in a margin, John will otherwise be found staring blankly at his teenage children as they explain that he doesn’t understand anything about ‘music’ these days.
