Meet Chris: Beets, bands, bitcoin
Chris Shuttleworth. Design Director, guitarist, AI wizard. Meet the man who wears many hats.
Tell us one thing about yourself that most people don’t know…
I play music in a band called Hobbies and this is our best song!
How would your friends describe you?
I’m usually the one who puts an end to everyone having a nice time and making pleasant conversation with each other, and gets everyone involved in some sort of game or challenge or quiz or something, so I reckon they’d describe me as the ultimate GameBoy or a nuisance. Probably a bit of both.
Think of your favourite TV show. If our studio were like that show, which character do you think you would be, and why?
I’d be Dwight Schrute from The Office, I think mainly because of my unwavering work ethic and also because I live on a 16-acre beet farm.
What inspired you to pursue your career path, and what’s something about it that surprises most people?
I always liked art in high school but I didn’t like the ‘high-brow’ aspect of it and it always annoyed me that you have to read the little rationale plaques to understand what the piece of art was about – which led me towards the more direct and understandable world of graphic design.
Reflecting on your career journey, what advice would you give your younger self starting out?
Buy bitcoin.
"The Robot Food team makes work not feel like work, and what excites me is that every job is very different. It's fun to get involved with new categories and understand what’s missing from that category and what would make a brand stand out."
