Kind words from...
"I had the pleasure of working with Jake for nearly a year on a high-stakes central government transformation programme, where he served as the UI Design Lead within the broader Digital Experience Design practice.
Jake’s "superpower" is his ability to take foundational brand elements and evolve them into engaging, scalable, and modern systems—all while remaining remarkably true to the original identity. He excelled at navigating a complex stakeholder landscape, ensuring leaders felt connected to the brand’s roots while enthusiastically endorsing a much richer, more expressive design language.
From defining new art direction and illustration styles to modernising palettes and ensuring rigorous accessibility standards, Jake’s work consistently aligned with our transformative goals. He brings immense talent, professionalism, and a sharp wit that makes him a joy to have in any team. I highly recommend Jake for any digital art direction or UI leadership role and look forward to the opportunity to work with him again."
Mark Glenn
Principal Consultant, Ghost Dynamics

"Jake joined the Napster team as the company was entering a period of major transformation following its acquisition by a younger and more dynamic UK-based business. This period was marked by an ambitious plan to overhaul the product suite and completely re-engineer its backend services. Jake played a critical role in leading the design effort for Napster's content management system, tackling high levels of complexity within tight deadlines. Not only did Jake deliver, but he consistently contributed to strategic decision-making and fostered strong relationships with key stakeholders throughout the company. I wholeheartedly recommend Jake for any future roles — I have no doubt he’ll be a valuable asset."

Head of Design, Napster

"Jake is one of the few designers I’ve met who truly gets the big picture while being able to execute it as well. He’s able to break down complex aspects of branding into elegant designs – no matter whether it is a logo, website, web or mobile based software application without breaking the link between all of the created materials.”
