My background is Art and Design and Engineering, holding a  BSC Hons in Product Design from Brunel University.

The illustrations bring conferences, presentations and training sessions to life for those who attend, and are a commonly used as a takeout for attendees to review later and to highlight  themes and trends.

Here is what some satisfied customers have to say:

“I found James’ work to be creative, accurate and a great way to bring my speech to life after the fact!” Chris Capossela. Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Microsoft.

“I always enjoyed your visual summaries – they were fun, accurate and inspiring.” Tuula Rytila, CMO Mobile device Marketing at Microsoft.

All illustrations are either created by:

• Capturing events in real-time in the meeting/conference

• A revised final illustration is created from original notes, to build a better narrative highlighting key points

• Create illustration from video of presentation – online or offline

These have been circulated to global audiences after weekly, bi-weekly, monthly meetings, strategic town hall meetings and state of the nation and quarterly/half year results meetings. They have also been published to internal content sharing platforms such as Yammer within both Nokia and Microsoft. These notes are taken contemporaneously with visual cues coming from the presentation, as such they become a single page graphic summary of the presentation or meeting. Additionally areas of the business have requested individual illustrations to summarise large presentations and such as the retail one above – shown in the ‘Retail Case Study’ page. This is shown without the explanatory text; and summarises a 64 slide presentation deck into one page.

In 2000 I started working at a full web design agency, working as a Information Architect. I have worked at Orange, Virgin Mobile/Virgin Media, T-Mobile and Nokia/Microsoft since then. add another page.
