Worked with Jay for branding for our new website and documents for invoicing and customer communication.
Very happy overall with Jay's approach that meant he understood clearly our brief about what was needed, and provided clear steps on how he could help.
Quality of Jay's ideas around design were excellent, and he guided us towards something we didn't initially consider, but was ideal for us.
Would recommend JWD in any design work you're looking for.

James designed a new logo and provided some excellent branding for my company. I was wholly impressed throughout the process from first contact and was more than happy with the results. I look forward to collaborating with James again in the future. More...

Quick response to my request, very patient with my changing brief! Loved the final product.
Describe your creative process.
Design Brief - Firstly I will contact you for a conversation in order to start off the process. After this initial chat I will then send a very brief questionnaire so that we can start off on the right foot. This enables me to make sure I am heading in the right direction and for you to receive your vision in the fastest possible manner.
Quotation - From the details gathered during the design brief I will provide the customer with a competitive quote that reflects the projects requirements.
Work Begins - Upon payment of a small deposit, I will get to work creating the initial concepts for the design work required.
Present Work - I will present the design(s) to the client. This will usually take the form of a stylescape where you can compare and contrast between the concepts I have designed. I always find that this stage is best done live. This can be done either face to face or over social media e.g. Skype.
Customisation - After we have narrowed down the options I will now create the final design, and if required, make any changes that you requested during the presentation.
Final step - This is where I will send the final invoice for the rest of the work undertaken. After I have received the funds I will then package and deliver the final designs to the client.
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
Deadline date.
Type of work needed.
Anything else can be discussed in the initial design brief discussion.
What do you love most about your job?
I love taking a concept from the start and seeing the final design being put to use in the real world. I am somebody who loves meeting and discussing new ideas with people from all over the world.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After working for businesses in Europe for ten years, it was time to come back to the UK. Being my own boss fits in with family life and it's really satisfying being able to make decisions on how things should be done.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have a love of design and their practical implications in the real world. I will take you through the process from being to end and help you to realise your design goals.
