Speedskull

Speedskull is an independent creative studio in Newtown, founded by creative director Karl Sheridan. It designs, builds and runs its own digital products, each one made to solve a real problem simply.

Shotluck comes from twenty years of creative direction and watching the same shifts hit every business: social platforms changing the rules, the rising cost of producing content, and audiences that trust real people over polished campaigns. Each month it runs a prize draw for a business where every entry is a customer's photo of anything to do with it, so the business is promoted by its own community, the people who want to be part of it. Paindriver began with Karl's own spine injury. It keeps the record of life with chronic pain between appointments and hands it over on a single page, and it is now used by patients and the specialists treating them. Idea Download gives new ideas somewhere to land and people to build on them with, and Die, a random face paired with a random scene, is there to spark them in the first place.

Before Speedskull in Sydney, Karl spent twelve years on Auckland's Karangahape Road running Monster Valley, his creative studio and art gallery built around its local community.
