Hi, I'm Jake. For over 20 years I've worked with leading agencies and global brands, staying hands-on and leading projects from the big idea through to delivery.
Endlessly curious about the potential of ideas and obsessed with typography, I turn a brand's strengths into distinctive visual systems: charming and grounded work that sticks, because what's remembered is what gets results.
I work with founders, brand teams and agencies alike. Easy-going, adaptable, and as invested in the thinking as the doing, always collaborative and without ego.
I'm based South of Bristol in the Mendip Hills with my family and two cats (Rambo — Head of Accounts, pictured) and rarely far from a bike, running shoes, or the pub.
