James Dawson –
Founder of JD Designs

I studied at the renowned University of the Arts London, where I gained a comprehensive background in design, branding, production and marketing. With 15 years experience working for leading businesses in their industries, you are in great hands when it comes to all things creative.

I live in Brentwood with my wife and daughter. We regularly find ourselves drawn to the seaside, whatever the weather. I spend my free time getting outside with my camera, running in local parks and watching gangster movies.

Testimonials

We pride ourselves on delivering designs & artwork that truly make an impact. What makes us even happier is hearing your feedback. See just some examples of how we’ve helped our amazing customers propel their business.

JD Designs helped us create a complete brand package, which included a logo, colour scheme, social media posts, email signatures, social media banners, custom fonts, custom icons and illustrations for our website, and more. They were great about respectfully pushing back when I had suggestions that weren’t going to work and found ways to create tailored work for our industry and target audience. We would absolutely hire them again.

Marlene Goldenberg

Founding Partner, Nigh Goldenberg Raso & Vaughn

JD Designs assisted our Cricket Club with a new logo design. James’ approach from start to finish was very refreshing. He took time to understand the history of our club and our current vision/strategy. This was then factored in to the different design options that we had to choose from. The end result is a new, fresh design that reflects our club, with a distinctive and modern look.
