James is our man with a plan, creatively speaking. He defines and communicates the creative culture of our agency, inspiring our creative studio and wider team to use design and creativity to help our clients shine.
Day-to-day, you’ll find him motivating and inspiring the design team and clients alike, sparking ideas to seduce the subconscious and convince the conscious. Whether he’s sharing new creative methods and ways of working, shaping our design philosophy, or championing our agency to the wider community, James’ collaborative, supportive approach really brings brands to life.

An innate storyteller, James loves everything about the movies, so defining and sharing brand stories comes naturally. He’s also a bit of a fan of technology… the latest gadgets, tools, apps, digital platforms and kits all fascinate him.

Before joining our team, James inspired creatives at Rufus Leonard working with clients including Lloyds Bank, Scottish Widows, Premier Inn and Odeon. Past successes include a shelf full of gold and silver Transform award wins from 2012 to 2015.
