Tim Semple Studio on not claiming to be the best and learning to “jump off the perfectionist bus”

From their base in Melbourne, Tim Semple and his eponymous independent design practice create colourful, typographically vivid identities for businesses and start-ups across the globe. We caught up to him to find out more about his team of “practical, efficient problem-solvers,” as well as why he decided to leave agency life to start his own studio and the lessons he’s learnt along the way as a result. EM: Hey Tim, how’s 2021 going for you so far? TS: Hey! Thank you for having me here in text today. 2021 has been fast, and slow, if that makes sense. We’re already in July and have been neck-deep in some of our wider-scoped projects. Overall, we’re kicking milestones and pushing our creative boundaries across the globe.
