James H. Email and Phone Number

Hi, I’m a concept-driven brand design specialist and creative lead with over 20 years of experience creating culturally influential and engaging communications. Living between the UK, USA, and Australia has enabled me to develop a diverse and cross-disciplined career; shaping brand experiences, crafting identities, publishing zines and books, creating content, building websites, developing platforms, producing events, launching products, telling stories, constructing environments, filming documentaries, designing clothing, and curating art shows for many of the world’s core brands.Driven by a passion for clear and considered creative solutions, I challenge the boundaries of how brands manifest, act, and develop by combining succinct, strategic design thinking with creative insight and strong business acumen. I remain a hands-on designer with a keen eye for detail. My growth-proven concepts attract attention and drive emotional responses by exploring narratives that communicate the ‘big idea’.I enjoy collaborations and team guidance, especially when mentoring and empowering young creatives. I’m confident in client-facing roles, effective working autonomously and have a track record of meeting tight deadlines.I view data and research as valuable informants — not as dictators of aesthetics or used to override creative intuition. As an empathetic, fun, and multifaceted creative, I use divergent thinking as an antidote to the many formulaic and derivative solutions seen today. I’m always excited and eager for the next challenge, whether for small start-ups or global corporates, particularly when it’s ethical, enterprising, disruptive, and behaviour-changing.
