I started out in the mid-90s in print, learning how to set up artwork and how things are actually made. From there, my work expanded into branding, editorial, packaging, and campaigns, eventually leading to running a studio and working with large organisations on more complex communication challenges.
Over the past decade, much of that work has focused on internal communications, helping organisations explain what matters, engage their people, and make complex information clearer.
My approach is methodical and detail-focused. I refine work until it communicates clearly, reducing noise and avoiding unnecessary complexity. Always aiming for something simpler and harder to misread.
After many years running a studio, I’m now working independently. It’s a shift that’s both challenging and energising.
If I could support your agency, join your in-house team, or help with a project, feel free to get in touch.

Hello, I’m James Elliott (with 2 l’s & 2 t’s).
My Approach
What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited for what’s ahead. What sets us apart isn’t just our process—it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create with purpose at every turn.
Simple ideas
Through every step, we've focused on staying true to our values and making space for thoughtful, lasting work.
Lasting impact
We build with clarity, act with integrity, and always stay curious.
