We all remember our sliding-door moments, but few can match David Ransonâs. He was cutting into a body when the chap next to him made a suggestion that would change his life.
He was elbow-deep in an autopsy as part of his final forensic pathology exams in London. The postgraduate student working on the next table was Dr Charles Naylor, who was about to move to Brisbane (he is now Queenslandâs Chief Pathologist).
Key creatives: Steffen Knöll and Sven Tillack.
Career path: After completing a three-year apprenticeship at an ad agency, Tillack decided that there was still a lot he wanted to learn and applied to study communication design at Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart (ABK, or Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design.) Having always wanted to study architecture, Knöll for reasons unknown even to him applied for communication design as a backup plan in case the architecture program at ABK didn’t accept him. Despite the fact that an architecture career could have still been in the cards, he decided to stay in design, which he attributes to the high rents in Zurich, Switzerland. The pair worked separately as freelancers for around seven years before launching Studio Tillack Knöll. Now, they also hold teaching positions at ABK.
