Hi, I’m James West.

I am a freelance brand and graphic designer based in Frome, UK.

Bringing more than a decade of expertise in the design field, my professional journey has taken me through various design studios in both London and New Zealand. Throughout my career, I've engaged in a range of design projects, from impactful advertising campaigns and comprehensive brand rollouts to crafting distinctive logos and apparel designs.

During my leisure time, you'll catch me embracing challenges and embarking on adventures, whether by foot or on two wheels. Lately, a significant portion of my energy has been dedicated to training and keeping up with Raffy, my lively Cocker Spaniel puppy.

Thank you for taking the time to read about my endeavors. If you have any creative ideas or if I can contribute to your upcoming project, feel free to get in touch.

Passion
for design

My friends with conventional jobs often think I spend my days simply “colouring in”… and there's some truth to that.

However, there's a whole process that precedes the “colouring in” part. My daily routine involves interacting with clients, conducting research, gathering inspiration, sketching, making presentations, and handling contracts and accounting.

While the "colouring in" part is undoubtedly enjoyable, it's just one aspect of the creative process. The true satisfaction lies in crafting something both I and the client can take pride in. I wouldn't want my job any other way.
