4. Graphic design, gold coins, and DIY electric cars with Oliver Kendal.

What drives your creativity? In episode 4 of the B-side with James Barrow podcast James speaks to graphic designer, art director and DIY electric car hobbyist, Oliver Kendal, who works at Macquarie University’s Group Marketing department, in Sydney Australia.

Oliver’s career started 18 years ago in England, before venturing to the southern hemisphere, where he has lived in Johannesburg, South Africa and Sydney, Australia. He has worked in advertising agencies, design firms and on the client-side. Applying his creative skills to a wide range of projects across an eclectic range of clients, from gold refineries and big global car brands to small businesses and tiny start-ups, and more recently, the education sector.

What inspires his creativity is the thought of making positive differences for society and the planet, big or small. Being particularly passionate about promoting sustainable solutions and alternatives in design and marketing projects, he is convinced that technology will help us do it.

His nostalgic fondness for Land Rovers and high esteem for the change being created by Tesla is the driving force behind his current side project, restoring and converting his beloved 1970 Land Rover Series 2a, named Nelson, into a fully electric vehicle.
