About me

Hello, I'm James, a freelance graphic designer who specializes in branding, packaging and digital product design for startups. I currently live in the picturesque town of Bradford on Avon, near Bath but work remotely for clients anywhere. I have 11 years of experience in graphic design, covering every aspect of commercial design for a huge variety of businesses. This includes:

• 3 years in a large London-based packaging design studio working for global clients
• 3 years co-founding a small design studio headquartered in New York
• 2 years Head of Design for a social media startup based in Silicon Valley
• Over 3 years running my own design business

Over these years I have worked on many different projects and acquired many different skill-sets. From being able to create a logo and brand for a company, to designing and even developing their website. My aim in this business is to provide a highly specialized and effective “one-stop shop” for a company, being able to take their business from a simple idea on a piece of paper, to a fully functional brand with the highest quality brand experience, website or product possible.

Over the years I have become adept at web development, keeping up with the rapidly evolving tools of the industry - from creating fully customized Wordpress themes in PHP to web and mobile apps built in React and React Native. This experience in development not only allows me to build products for you, but has also become indispensable experience in developing effective working relationships and communicating my design vision with developers within a company.

I aim to build long-term relationships with my clients and provide ongoing expertise, design and development support. I have strong industry connections and am able to bring others on to the team to fit with your needs. I can provide a full design team for you without the hassle and cost associated with developing an in-house solution. As your company and requirements grow, so can your design team in a flexible way that works for you.

I strongly believe in designing with purpose and with the intent of solving problems. My approach to design is that form follows function and to create something exciting and creative that is founded on research and meaning — I aim to build brands that will last and products that are as functional as they are beautiful. I aim to help companies carve out their space in the marketplace through building an effective, unique and consistent brand.

No job is too big or too small, please get in touch today and see how I can help you and your business.
