Bio

Hi I'm James, a Design Director currently working at Chase Design Group.
As a Design Direct
or specialising in brand and packaging design, I have honed my skills over the course of a decade, collaborating with global FMCG powerhouses and thrilling challengers alike. I firmly believe that every project begins with a simple idea, which I then transform into a meticulously crafted and distinctive piece of design.
