Firth Kerr is both and exciting and inspiring designer, her studio produces some really great work. Frith was a key speaker at the 4 designers conference this year, her presentation showed the wonderful mixture of work that the Kerr studio produces, a particular favourite was the work they did for a singer songwriter, which featured a bunny as a character in a series of minimalist posters displayed at Cannes Film Festival.
