About
Hi, I’m James - a senior freelance designer who helps ethical startups, charities, and public sector organisations turn ambitious goals into clear, compelling design.
With nearly two decades of experience working with the NHS, NCVO, Soil Association, Bristol City Council, and many, many others, I understand the pressure of high-stakes projects and the worry that can come from commissioning creative work. I’m here to remove the stress from that process: no flaky freelancers, designer egos, or agency excess here - just design for good without the faff.
Whether it’s a national rebrand, a strategic campaign, or an annual report, I deliver award-winning creative that works without the layers of a typical agency. Clients often tell me my presence brings calm and confidence to their biggest projects and I take immense pride in being the reliable, senior partner who gets it right the first time.

Testimonials
“James is one of the best all-round designers I have been lucky enough to work with. He has a brilliant grasp of the end-to-end process: he has real flair for organisation, planning and nailing the brief; a pride in the creativity of his work; along with an exacting approach to delivering final files. One of the things I particularly valued was James’s ability to really listen but also how he challenged me on certain things - in his lovely way! – in order to get the best results. He managed to keep a clear sight of our vision and really cared about the end result. Many designers have creative skills for particular aspects of design but finding someone who truly understands the techniques that make words and images work together is priceless.”
