In 1989 he joined Pentagram on a full time basis before becoming their youngest associate, just three years later, at the age of 27. In November 1994 he formed his own consultancy, Frost Design in London, creating award-winning work for clients from The Independent newspaper to Nike. In 2003 Vince relocated to Sydney Australia, from where he now runs an internationally focused creative ideas studio of 35 people, Frost*.

He has won awards from the New York Society of Publication Designers, D&AD, the Art Directors Club of New York and Tokyo, among many others.
Vince Frost is arguably Australia’s most recognized designer and certainly one of themost globally celebrated and awarded of our time. A member of D&AD (Design and Art Directors, London) and the AGI (Alliance Graphique Internationale, Switzerland), Vince plays an active role in the global design community, regularly sitting on international judging panels and lecturing at colleges and conferences around the world. In the early 90’s he became Pentagram London’s youngest Associate Director and after five years at the design industry’s best “finishing school”, he set up his own London studio, Frost* Design. Since then, many awards have come Vince’s way, including D&AD silvers, golds from the New York Society of Publication Designers and gongs from the New York and Tokyo Art Directors’ Clubs. In 2004 Vince made the move to Sydney, where his famous Surry Hills (NSW) studio, Frost*, now employs 35 people. Calling Australia home for more than 7 years now, Vince continues to work for global clients and win international accolades. Working on a diverse range of projects, from environmental graphics and exhibitions to magazine and book design, corporate identity, brand strategy, advertising and interactive design, Vince’s approach is all about exceptional ideas and adhering to the philosophy that ‘anything is possible’.
