Richard Hart is a designer, illustrator, type nut and – most recently – a weekend artist. He is happiest when he’s making. His output includes posters, publications, flyers, packaging, furniture, interiors, exhibition design, painting, sculpture and a few objects that are less easily described. He has also produced a handful of musical compositions that have been described by his wife as “truly unlistenable”.

Hart and his sister Susie founded their Durban-based design studio, disturbance in 1997.  In its 14 years of existence the studio has gathered a respectable little collection of trophies, certificates and column inches. disturbance works for clients in South Africa, Canada, Europe and Australasia, and keeps things interesting by regularly undertaking self-initiated projects.
