“As a kid I used to draw logos from surf and motocross brands such as Rusty, Hot Tuna, Mambo and FOX racing. I was really in to these sports and loved the way these brands approached the sports and how some of them integrated illustration into their branding, especially Mambo.”

— JARRAD BURLEY

I got started in the industry through the love of branding and logos. As a kid I used to draw logos from surf and motocross brands such as Rusty, Hot Tuna, Mambo and FOX racing. I was really in to these sports and loved the way these brands approached the sports and how some of them integrated illustration into their branding, especially Mambo. I would eventually complete an advanced diploma in graphic design, majoring in illustration in 2008.
