John Thackray
After honing my design eye at the agencies Together and Bread And Honey, I moved into publishing design where I enjoyed a successful time creating engaging layouts, covers and overseeing production of a number of brands, including Classic Pop, MusicTech and Guitar.com.
In 2017 I launched my own craft beer magazine Hopped, and prior to co-founding Cuppatwo, I worked as a Senior Designer across the BandLab Technologies portfolio along with a side hustle in music journalism.
Alongside my work as a designer, I've taught at Portland State University's School of Art & Design, Bath Spa University and am always happy to chat about the demise of Barnet Football Club, floodlights, and/or my latest guitar or synth purchase.
