Clive is the director of Perry Watson Design and has 30-something years in the industry (can't be more precise as the records are hazy). Most of those years have been in small studios that require expertise in the gamut of design work, from logos to magazines, from signage to billboards. Clive's professional attributes are an inexhaustible well of patience, a pedantic attention to detail, and lashings of good humour. Also his Christmas client lunches are legendary. Outside the office his hobbies are surfing, watching football (yes he is a Collingwood supporter, inexplicably). And playing banjo.
In a small studio like this, you can’t have too many superstars. So we’d quite like two Fionas. She’s back at Perry Watson for a second stint, after an eight-year hiatus during which she had a child (Sully, now at school) while discovering, mercifully, that city life is more to her liking than a sleepy bush outpost like Ballarat. Fiona is a Geelong supporter, so has already got all the premierships due in her lifetime out of the way, and is therefore happy to chat about all manner of other subjects. Her special one, however, is design.
